Indulge in the enchanting world of Mermaid Bay Christmas Shoppe Mysteries with Heather Weidner’s latest installment, Twinkle Twinkle Au Revoir. As a devoted fan of Weidner’s captivating storytelling, I eagerly delved into this Christmassy mystery, which seamlessly blends the warmth of festive spirits with suspenseful intrigue.
Love is in the air when Love Channel camps at Mermaid Bay to shoot ‘My Coastal Valentine’. As the saying goes, never meet your heroes, the stars of the show are up to their ‘diva’ antics. From Elle’s disastrous comments that puts the B&B in a bad light to Raphael’s multiple affairs, the townspeople have their hands full with juicy gossip and tourists.
Just when the town thought things couldn’t get any hotter, a tragedy strikes. A murder. This isn’t something one needs to turn up the heat a notch. Not with Christmas around the corner. Finding a dead body in an actor’s room takes the frenzy to a whole new level.
As Jade delves into the investigation, she uncovers a trove of secrets among the Love Channel cast and crew. A murder to probably silence the reporter was uncalled for, but as they say, desperate measures in desperate times.
The plot unfolds with a perfect blend of suspense, humor, and unexpected twists. Jade not only navigates through the complexities of a murder mystery but also finds herself in the spotlight in a surprising turn of events. To avoid spoilers, I will not delve into the details, but rest assured, it certainly adds an extra later of intrigue and fun.
Captivating narrative made it impossible for me to put down the book until the end. Though a second in the series, it already feels like Jade and the gang are (my) old friends. Likable characters and masterful storytelling.
To summarize, Twinkle Twinkle Au Revoir by Heather Weidner is a candy-cane sweet and totally engrossing mystery. Highly recommended!
