The Christmas Letter by Kathi Daley
Publisher: Self-published
Genre: Cozy Mystery, Holiday, Contemporary
Rating: 4 stars
Review by SnowdropSet in the small town of White Eagle Montana, the series features Tess and her dog Tilly, who spend their days delivering the latest gossip along with the daily mail. When a close friend is murdered, Tess and Tilly join forces with the reclusive genius in town to sleuth out the truth behind the shocking murder that is rocking the community as it prepares for the annual Christmas Festival.
If you like quaint types of characters and pets, you’re gonna think this is fun. Tess is a local postal carrier in a small town and Tilly is her ever faithful (and very well-behaved) dog. The Christmas Letter is the first book in a series titled Tess and Tilly.
This is the type of small town where everyone knows everyone, knows their business too 🙂 Tess knows everyone on her route and can’t even help but notice who is beginning to get their Christmas cards or not. She also can’t help but notice when someone she delivers to isn’t answering the door. Even Tilly notices.
This is your typical cozy, except I thought it had a little more depth. It has an amateur sleuth, a handsome cop, and of course a dead body, but it has some underlying layers of mystery that make it an interesting read. It is even difficult to decide if Tilly should like the new vet or not with so much going on.
The author writes well so this flows well and is a quick read. I was very glad to see Kathi Daley had more publications. I’ll enjoy reading more.
