Silent Night, Deadly Night by Vicki Delany

I'm enjoying this series. sometimes in cozies the main character seems totally out of touch with reality as they get way too involved in something that's none of their business. this story manages to make it clear why/how Merry is involved in a way that preserves her intelligence and reason, yet generates real tension. I appreciated how chill her dad is about the whole Santa thing and I thought he would be a great role model to have. Merry's mom has her college friends visiting and it's an absolute disaster; they do not come off quite so well. fun to read and I think probably generates a bit of dopamine every time Merry crosses something off her to-do list. I also timed it nicely to read this just before Thanksgiving hurray =)
