In this holiday-inspired mystery, Cami Brooks finds herself smack dab in the middle of another murder mystery after she walks into a meeting with Mayor Lewis Frost and finds him dead with what looks to be the snow globe she sold him hours prior, used as the murder weapon and a rather large diamond on the floor. The last thing Cami needs at this time of year is another dead body on her hands, especially while she is dealing with strange customers, bizarre merchandise, a new slightly-off employee and the holiday shopping rush. However, Cami must figure out what is going on before things around her shatter...

Frosty the Dead Man is the third book in the Snow Globe Shop mystery series. I have had this series on my to-read list for a while, so I was excited to be able to read and review this book. I haven't read either of the other two in the series, but I needn't worry because this book was easy to follow and gave just enough backstory for me to follow the series' plot line, and held back just the right amount to hook me into buying the firs two to go back and read! I found the cast of characters to be warm and friendly and a fun group, and I especially like the romance that is being set up for Cami. I found the mystery an easy one to figure out, but knowing where the story was headed didn't spoil the journey for me. I really enjoyed this book and found it to be a fast read. Be sure to check out the back of the book for a fun snow globe craft!

Reviewer Notes: Also writes the Winnebago County Mystery series
