Cold-Blooded Myrtle

What a lovely venture back into the world of Myrtle. This one is so Christmasy and fabulous that I was wanting to get out my Christmas decor in October. Myrtle is prepping for Christmas and with Miss Judson attends the unveiling of the annual miniature display at the local mercantile. But what is unveiled is the beginning of a mystery and Myrtle and company have to solve to stop the murderer on the loose. Myrtle also has to face some pieces of the past that are crucial to her own story. Bunce weaves together these mysteries of past and present so skillfully and adds so much character development not only to Myrtle in this one but to the endearing side characters as well. Plus Myrtle's signature advice and information is present at the beginning of each chapter, this time Christmas related. Also, let's not forget, Peony the cat, who is the best animal sidekick a girl could have with her signature commentary. Bunce is an auto buy author for me. Magnificent.
