Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Although its language is frequently sophomoric, this debut mystery introducing sleuth Lucy Stone does feature some nice plot twists. At the height of the Christmas season, Stone, an employee of Maine mail-order house Country Cousins, finds her wealthy boss, Sam Miller III, dead inside his car in the company parking lot. The police quickly determine that the popular Miller was murdered. His beautiful wife is initially a suspect, but she had neither motive nor opportunity. When two other suspects are also cleared, Stone convinces officer Barney Culpepper to help her spring a trap to flush out the killer. Soon after, she discovers a genuine suicide and Culpepper suffers a near-fatal traffic accident. Stone concludes that the two events are related to the Miller slaying and executes a plan to catch the murderer in another homicide attempt. Neither particularly readable nor particularly plausible, the novel deserves some credit for an interesting cast of characters.

From Library Journal
Back in Maine, three-time mother and part-time mail-order business employee Lucy Stone discovers the apparent suicide of her boss one cold night during her break. Things begin to change at work and Lucy grows suspicious, despite the demands of the Christmas season: perhaps someone murdered Sam Miller in order to take over his successful business. Lucy contributes a bit of sleuthing, but domesticity sidetracks her life and this plot. Those in search of a mystery to solve will not find it here.

Mistletoe Murder,
By Riley (Virginia, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mistletoe Murder (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a quick read, but I doubt that I will ever pick up this author again. The cover is much more interesting than the story inside, which is as flat as a soda without its fizz. Don't waste your time with this one.

The "mystery" is, where is the mystery?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mistletoe Murder (Mass Market Paperback)
This isn't a mystery...this is a compendium of shopping notes, cookies, children's problems, antiques, etc....and, oh yes, someone gets murdered at the beginning of the book...and the killer is discovered at the end...with very little pertinent detecting in between. One good thing about misteltoe....I can kiss this "author" goodbye!
4.0 out of 5 stars
Merry Murder,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mistletoe Murder (Mass Market Paperback)
The small town flavor of this book drew me to it right away. Lucy Stone is a character that many of us can relate to, especially during the holidays. If you are looking for light reading with enough suspense to keep you hooked, then Misteltoe Murder is the perfect mystery. Bake some gingerbread men, warm some cocoa, and snuggle up for a Christmas caper.
