by Dana Cameron, Mary Daheim, Lori Avocato, Cait London, Suzanne Macpherson, Kerrelyn Sparks I enjoy reading anthologies because it allows me to have a taste of an author’s creation before I fully invest in their fare. I usually make sure that there are one or two stories by authors I already appreciate, but it isn’t a requirement. I regularly read and enjoy Dana Cameron’s Emma Fielding Mysteries and Mary Daheim’s B&B Series, so there wasn’t much risk in picking up Sugarplums and Scandal. All of the stories have an underlying mystery to solve embedded in a Christmas setting. Each has a romantic component and the wry humor that is expected to accompany the awkwardness of new love. The backdrops vary from an eighteenth century English manor house to a Hollywood sound stage. The cast of characters include a fussy divorcé, a well-meaning ghost, a toothless curmudgeon, TWO Holly Lightlys, a volley of vampires and Jagger, who is well, wow. Whew! It’s a little steamy under this mistletoe! I have decided that this will be the stocking stuffer for the majority of the readers on my Christmas list. I hope they, and you, enjoy it as much as I did. Merry Christmas! |
