Twelve Drummers Drumming: A Father Christmas Mystery Tekijä: C.C. Benison

2½ stars. While the mystery aspect was decent, there was something in the setting or writing that struck me as a bit wrong - I can't really describe what it is. I will try another one to see if this feeling is specifically related to this book or affects the whole series...

The Unpleasantness of the Battle of Thornford: A… Tekijä: C C Benison

Not part of the Twelve Days of Christmas series per se but still set in the same area and with the same main characters. Good romp for those of us missing Father Christmas.

Ten Lords A-Leaping: A Father Christmas Mystery Tekijä: C. C. Benison

I liked the writing, but there was too much of it.
This book could have been half as long as it is.
By the halfway point, I was more than ready for the "let me tell you why I asked you all here" scene.
