3.5

This is a 3.5 star review.  I really enjoyed the premise of the mystery. Small Maine town during Christmas, A Tearoom based on Mystery Novels, A grand house with all the relatives gathered for the reading of a will and of course a murder. While I enjoyed the characters and the setting the mystery did not keep me engaged. I found the book to be slow moving, yet the solution to the mystery was rushed. Overall it was just an OK read.
