An intricate, well crafted and solid police procedural, beautifully written and characterised, full of atmosphere. The main characters have developed throughout the series and are completely believable and engaging.

The Huntress is a multi layered story with well defined and developing characters along with wonderfully atmospheric and descriptive prose, plus a very satisfying ending.

Although the story is set around Christmas and there is romance involved, it’s very much in the background, the focus is on the characters as they navigate their lives through heartbreak, shock, second chances and re-evaluation.

It Always Snows on Mistletoe Square is a delightfully endearing, well written story with a nod to a classic Christmas movie. Definitely recommended if you enjoy Christmas themed stories with a difference. Check it out here
