Lee Hollis

Three novella centering on murder and mittens, an amusing read. The first story by Lee Hollis and named Death of a Christmas Mitten Knitter brings many items into play such as pre-nupital agreements, kleptomania, and jealousy. One of the members of a local knitting group falls victim to death by a knitting needle. In the second novella, Two Christmas Mittens, witchcraft spirits the story of a cheating professor finding a possessed mitten and falling victim to a tire stick. The third novella, Murderous Mittens, has the victim hit on the head with a mitten covered bocce ball. I enjoyed two of the stories, but the witchy story flew out of my kettle. The new friendship formed between Cam and Cece in the last novella fell flat. The relationship developed too quickly. A fun and speedy read!… (mais)

“But I never wanted to see a mitten again, murderous or otherwise.”

When someone Mia loves comes into contact with an ancient curse attached to a Christmas mitten she won’t rest until she finds a way to save her. And finally CeCe Barton’s origin story sees her hunting down a murderer to keep her twin out of jail. This is a must read!… (mais)
