Mayor Cora Mae Bingham has a new friend that has come to town to straighten up the coal mine’s failed finances and keep the pay checks flowing faithfully through the holiday, but his financial fixes may cause some unanticipated fallout.

Canine Officer Briscoe helps find a missing photographer, but the developments turn dark when the police probe into her marriage. Only the dark room offers some light on the situation.

Despite these concerns, the citizens of Spicetown have a full heart at Christmastime and are busy preparing for the community play and choral presentation at the Community Center. Spicetown’s eccentric millionaire, Grace Keslar, is having a holiday party to celebrate her new business ventures, but Cora is concerned that perhaps her invitation got lost.

Even when Cora Mae thought she knew everything about everyone in town, Harvey “Saucy” Salzman finds a way to surprise her!

**If you would like to extend your visit to Spicetown, join Cora & Conrad at the Keslar Mansion as they help Grace open her businesses and figure out a few odd things going on with her new guests. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09TX7368Q

I always enjoys the characters in this series but I especially liked Grace Kesler. She is quirky and her renaming of people is highly amusing. As I have read these books and this one as well the characters have become like family. I always look forward to the next book. They can’t come out fast enough!

I have read ever book on Spicetown mysteries so I like knowing the characters to understand where situations are going. It is a friendly town with little conflicts. I don’t like how many times they clarify a characters role but I’ve enjoyed the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas Spirit, A Mysterious Death, A Christmas Play All With Many Surprises!
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2023
In the previous book Amanda and Bryan get engaged. Now she's in wedding planning mode. This book opens with Saucy stopping by the mayor's office after paying his water bill.

Amanda and Cora are discussing wedding cake flavors and Saucy tells Amanda that Vicki could make anything Amanda chooses. While she doesn't do cakes for the Fennel Street Bakery, Saucy says she will do special orders. Saucy also has a part in the Christmas play, although it's changed from the original A Christmas Carol to A Comfort Falls Christmas. Cora hasn't heard of it and Saucy won't enlighten her as to the plot.

We meet Walter Slope who recently came to town, he's the new manager of the Paxton mine. He prefers being in Spicetown since he has fond memories of spending summers with his grandparents, it's also closer to the mine itself.

He also gives Cora an amended blast notice, they are closing off damaged and unused tunnels to help prevent accidents. He ends this meeting by asking Cora to dinner. That doesn't go over well with her.

We meet Grace Keslar the eccentric millionaire widow, who owns a mansion on the border of Spicetown. She's the talk of the town as she invites people to her Christmas Party. They're also talking about her plans to open a wellness spa.

I love Marmalade Magnolia Bingham, Cora's cat. We don't see a lot of her in these books, but she's much loved by Cora and Conrad.

Peter Jessup is very much surprised by a call from the sheriff's office wanting something of his wife Jane's. He's not at home but they think he is, so he has to leave his girlfriend Olivia D'Asaro. Someone called and reported her missing, they thought it was him. He hasn't seen her since he left home early this morning. They don't talk much at all anymore.

We again see Grace Keslar as she hires some new help for her home. She's also going to be offering rooms to out of towners who come to visit her wellness center.

Briscoe is very much a hero in this book, even though it takes a while, he does find the missing woman unfortunately she's not alive.

A lot happens in this book, between the woman's injuries, damages to the wellness center that's still under construction and unscheduled blasting will keep you on your toes.

This book is the perfect segue to the Keslar Mansion Mysteries. Since I've read those already, I am looking forward to the next spin-off featuring the Carom Seed Craft Corner, coming January 1, 2024.

I read this last book in the series today. So sad. I will miss these characters that I've gotten to know so well in these 9 books. So entertaining.
Now I'm going to read the 2 books about the lady and cat who live in the mansion. I hope they have the other Spicetown characters, so I can continue to enjoy them
