Dashing Through the Snow, written by Mary Higgins Clark; Carol Higgins Clark

Welcome to the festive chaos known as Dashing Through the Snow, where holiday cheer meets a murder mystery, proving once again that nothing ruins a Christmas celebration quite like, well, a body.

Get ready to hear the same old jingle bells but with a twist of suspense! This literary treat takes us through the serene snow-covered landscapes, a clever trick to mask all sorts of holiday mischief. Our heroine, the ever-resourceful but slightly over-the-top single mother, Emily, is on a quest to make the holiday season magical for her son, while scheming thieves and accidental kidnappings pop up like those obnoxious relatives that show up uninvited.

As Emily embarks on her yuletide adventure, she unconsciously gets tangled in a web of secrets when she finds herself in the middle of a kidnapping case, while trying to bring her son and his father, a detective, back together - because nothing screams "wholesome family reunion" like a mysterious crime, right? Between trying to keep the kid happy and navigating through suspicious characters, Emily's life becomes a chaotic ride through the snow, decorated with cozy fireside chats and sharp plot twists.

Now, let's talk about spoilers! If you've ever wondered how many twists can fit into a Christmas story, let me tell you: a LOT. Just when you think you've figured out who the kidnapper is- BAM! Another curveball hits you like an annoying rogue snowball! This book is filled with surprises, and surprises are meant to be.well, surprise-like. So, I won't spoil the deliciously puzzling end for you, but let's just say that the conclusion may or may not include a Christmas miracle, a dash of romance, and a sprinkle of "huh, didn't see that coming!"

From bizarre holiday parties where someone clearly had too much eggnog to twists that even Santa himself would be scratching his head at, Dashing Through the Snow is a delightful ride full of intrigue that will keep you guessing until the last page.

In summary: If you're in the mood for a Christmas-themed mystery that's as fluffy as the snow lining the pages but as tangled as a set of old Christmas lights, then this book is all you need to kickstart your holiday season. Who doesn't love dashing through a good mystery while sipping hot cocoa? Just don't forget to check if the kids are in the other room. or maybe NOT, who knows what trouble they might get into, right?
