Christmas x murder x snow = perfection! This was a lot of fun~

I was looking for a teaser for my daily meme posts and came across this book, it sounded so awesome. Of course I had to get it, especially when fellow bloggers told me it was so awesome. And I am really glad I was able to read this book. Not during Christmas as I had planned, but in the new year.

In this book we meet George who is going to stay with his family in a vacation home at sea for Christmas. Sounds fun right? Well, George is not that into it. He is happy to see his grandparents and his favourite uncle, but he is not looking forward to seeing his cousin, Isla (whose name I can still not pronounce right, sorry) and is also not really happy with the fact that his family is going to be extended as his dad’s new girlfriend is going to have a baby. But soon he won’t be thinking about anything because a murder is being committed and George saw something! Plus, it is also connected to something he saw on the roads to this vacation home (which I loved). Things are getting exciting!

And seriously, things get heated, excited, oh my gosh! I mean that person found in the sea was just the first, after that things are following George and his cousin as they try to solve the mystery and the murder(s). I really loved seeing George and Isla try to figure things out and even when things got dicey they kept going (that one guy was way too into things and there were some harrowing moments). I loved the various twists and turns and I loved getting puzzle pieces and see if I could figure things out myself. It was fab to see the mystery expand with each new find and see that things got more hectic and frantic. Plus, snowstorms add to the atmosphere and I love it.

While I had some sus feelings in regards to that person it still came as a shock when my suspicions turned out to be true. Oh MY GOSH. I loved that. I loved how it all tied together and how it all came together, it was all perfectly done!

I didn’t like George’s aunt already due to things, but who the F lets a guy inside that they don’t know. Anyone can tell you they know your family. As a woman I would have never let anyone inside no matter how much they say they know someone. Nope. Nope. NOPE.

All in all, I seriously need to check out more Fleur Hitchcock books. I always love a good MG murder mystery~ I would recommend this book to all.
