Please see my review for Mr. Nevin’s (HowCaring.com) next installment in his wonderful series, starring none other than Hilda. I’ve come to love Hilda and her best friend Pearl, who often accompanies Hilda (mostly unwillingly) in cleverly solving bizarre mysteries alongside hilarious adventures. They’ve become dear friends of mine and I’m sure you’d enjoy getting to know them too. Enjoy.

Thoroughly enjoyed this next installment in the Hilda Murder Mysteries by Mike Nevin. As an American reader, it was fun to go back in time to post-WWII England and get to walk the foggy alleyway of the crime and see what Hilda, Pearl and Arthur were up to all those years ago. Found myself smiling at the cleverly arranged, subtle humor that’s sprinkled throughout the story, feminism smiling knowingly from behind the narrative while poking fun at some of the bumbling characters, and of course Hilda’s wonderful dancing. After all, what’s a murder mystery without some dancing to clear one’s mind to think? Get yourself a cup of hot cocoa and snuggle up. Cheers.
P.S.– And don’t worry–the real Father Christmas isn’t the one murdered in this book, as Hilda reassuringly reminds us throughout the story. The real Santa Claus is alive and well up at the North Pole.
