The Mistletoe Mystery is a perfect Christmas story, filled with traditions and more than a bit of magic. I loved the Advent calendar Molly's grandmother made from a discarded library card catalog and the handmade vest that is Molly's favorite piece of clothing. This story is guaranteed to remind readers of their own special holiday traditions.
Molly's grandmother always helped Molly with her social ineptness and inability to read facial expressions, and Molly could certainly use her help in The Mistletoe Mystery. Molly is such a special character whom I first met in Nita Prose's The Maid. She's a character who stays with you, and as I read, I not only felt compassion for her as she misinterprets Juan Manuel's behavior but joy as well because I could interpret the signs Molly couldn't.
This is a nice little mystery filled with holiday spirit. I love spending time with Molly.

It's delightful to spend time with Molly again and this short story (107 pages) brought tears to my eyes. We get to see how all the important people in Molly's life collaborate during the holiday season.
