Holly Jolly Fudge Folly (Fudge Shop Cozy Mystery Series Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Christine DeSmet (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 13 ratings
An early, deep snow has gifted Fishers' Harbor, Wisconsin, with a perfect setting for the holiday celebration. Unfortunately removing snow from Main Street for the parade reveals the dead tax assessor with a knife in him--containing Grandpa Gil's fingerprints.
It's clearly a setup and one that keeps Ava and Grandpa Gil under the watchful eyes of Sheriff Tollefson. Who wants Grandpa to miss playing Santa Claus in the Christmas parade and why? Who's being naughty instead of nice?
Grandpa doesn't help his case with talk of leaving town for good--words that chill Ava worse than the weather. She can't imagine life without Grandpa's warm hugs and laughter.
When vandals strike the historic shop and someone leaves Ava and fiancé Dillon Rivers for dead in the snow, Ava wonders if she may need the magical help of Santa's elves to solve the holiday folly.

    “It’s that time again to let it snow, let it snow, let it snow, and a big snowstorm is what kicks off the next installment of Christine DeSmet’s delightful Fudge Shop Mystery Series, Holly Jolly Fudge Folly. The main character Ava’s beloved grandfather Gil decides to take matters into his own hands when Mercy, the would-be mayor of Fishers’ Harbor, runs right over his mailbox—again! Gil hijacks her plow and furiously dashes through the piles of snow on Main Street…where the dead body of the tax assessor, who’s threatening to turn their area into a ghost town with his recent, steep property hikes, is discovered. Gil’s fingerprints are on the murder weapon. Of suspects and red herrings, the author has filled the reader’s stockings no end! Colorful characters, intriguing relationships, and a plot with all the twisty turns of a red and white candy cane are all evident in this clever caper. Christine DeSmet has penned another fudgy (and fishy!) mystery at just the right time of year to get your Christmas elf (or, more aptly, your Belgian gnome trickster skritek) hat on and let the sleuthing begin.” ~Karen Wiesner, author of Falcon’s Bend Series and Denim Blues Mysteries

    What a delightful treat to discover Christine DeSmet's Holly Jolly Fudge Folly! Ava Oosterling is the memorable narrator of this great blend of a whodunnit and a lovely holiday story. The novel is set in Fishers' Harbor, in Door County, Wisconsin, and DeSmet packs her fast-paced story with the tantalizing aroma of fudge, wonderful descriptions of a snowy Main Street, and cultural details such as Belgian skritek, or gnomes, and Scandinavian elves known as nissen. This is a great read and I look forward to exploring more of DeSmet's work.

    Christine DeSmet's Holly Jolly Fudge is set in Wisconsin's vacation wonderland Door County during the "off-season"--Christmastime. This makes for a wonderful blend of cozy mystery and a holiday story. The characters are from DeSmet's regular in-season series and wonderfully relatable. The mystery is fun and not so easy to guess who dunnit. And the holiday backdrop makes all that more fun. I enjoyed this book a lot!

    The 6th in the Door County Fudge Shop cozy mystery series! Ava Oosterling is back with fudge, fudge, and more fudge! And snow! And the death of a tax assessor whose latest assessments may mean the death of Fisher's Harbor as we know it. And of course, Ava's grandfather is in the thick of it all. A holiday adventure, complete with snow, gnomes, and elves from Belgian (and other Scandinavian) folklore. When Ava finds the dead tax assessor a week before her best friend's wedding, and learns her grandfather is a prime suspect, she digs into the case, much to the chagrin of the local sheriff (again :) ). Not only that, but someone (or something) has been leaving little gifts for her. Are the elves teasing her? Are there gnomes looking out for her? This is another great adventure in Wisconsin's "Cape Cod" that doesn't disappoint. And it includes Ava's latest fudge recipe!

    Although I don't usually read cozy mysteries, I was looking for a change of pace as the holidays approached. Good move! The characters touched my heart from the get-go. I cheered for them, cried for them, worried about them. I'm sending a copy to a friend for Christmas.

    At Oosterlings' Live Bait, Bobbers, Belgian Fudge & Beer, the air is fragrant with sugar, vanilla, and chocolate. An observant passerby might see elves, gnomes, nissen, or shritek. Do they know who was naughty instead of nice? If any humans do, they're not talking. So it's up to Ava Oosterling to uncover the truth. HOLLY JOLLY FUDGE FOLLY is a delightful story filled with holiday cheer and a wee bit of murder.
