I love the whole series and have eagerly read each book as soon as it came out. This one is no different. It's shorter and Christmas themed, but is filled with humor, romance and fast paced action. Diane Kelly's book are fantastic. You can't help but root for Tara as she fumbles her way through the case and gets from difficult situation to more difficult situation.

The book is hilarious, a must read. Even better than the Stephanie Plum books I'm a big fan of this series and this was an adorable holiday novella that could very well stand alone outside the series. Tara is the only character in the novella from the series - everyone else is new to this novella. It's also very Christmassy so if you're in the mood for a light, fun, action-y little novella, this one might be just the thing. The author deviates a bit this time; the story is written from three different POV's. Tara's, Megan's - a police officer whose beat includes the mall the story takes place in, and Brigid, Megan's K-9 partner. Appropriately, three things about this deviation kept me from liking this story more: 1. I don't like alternating POV's 2. I don't like talking animals 3. Megan's POV used bullet points. Not a fan. Not in my books. I got about a third of the way through the story when I started to think the multiple POV's could be an introduction to a spin off series; there was too much background information about Megan for her to be a one-off. Hmmm.... Sure enough, once I got to the end of the novella, there's an announcement that a new series will feature Megan and Brigid starting June 2014. Points 1 and 2 will not have me jumping to add this series to my lists, but I'll keep an eye out for reviews, because Diane Kelly can write! I love her style and her humour. It's hard to say what was really the main plot in this novella - there's the background setup for the new series; Tara is investigating possible IRS tax fraud on the part of a jewellery wholesaler, and there's the small issue of a matchmaking project Tara, Megan (and Brigid) take upon themselves. Doesn't really matter - it's a fun story with a happy ending full of holiday spirit. Just what the doctor ordered. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

'Tis the season for death, taxes, and maybe even love under the mistletoe... Death, Taxes, and Mistletoe Mayhem is a brand-new holiday novella from award-winning author Diane Kelly! Christmas is fast approaching when IRS Special Agent Tara is assigned a new case involving a jewelry wholesaler who's repeatedly claimed large theft losses on her tax returns. Was Nadine Gramercy really robbed, or were the thefts a mere ruse to pocket tax-free profits? Tara believes Nadine belongs at the top of Santa's "naughty" list. Her investigation takes her to Chisholm Trail mall, where she meets Fort Worth Police Officer Megan Luz and her fluffy K-9 partner, Brigit. Though Megan believes Tara is barking up the wrong tree, she agrees to provide backup if a bust goes down. Moreover, they decide to team up as matchmakers to find love for Chris Rasmussen, a pediatric nurse who moonlights at the mall playing Santa Claus. Chris has a warm heart and a body that's hot enough to melt to the polar ice caps. This sexy-yet-sad shopping mall Santa was recently dumped by his fickle fianc?e, leaving the not-so-old elf more jilted than jolly. Can Tara and Megan solve the crime...and lift Santa's spirits in time for Christmas? Praise for Diane Kelly's Tara Holloway novels: "Smart, sassy, and so much fun!" ? New York Times bestselling author Gemma Halliday "Better than a refund check from the IRS!" ? Reader to Reader Reviews "Tara Holloway [is] a kindred spirit to Stephanie Plum: feisty and tenacious...laughs and nonstop action."? RT Book Reviews Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
