Just in time for the holiday season!
I love multi-genre author CW Hawes' books. Simply put, he is a very good writer. My favorite is his Justinia Wright PI series. And just in time for the Christmas season, he has offered up a new collection of mysteries for us to enjoy!

My review:
I have enjoyed CW Hawes' Justinia Wright series for a long time, and this short story collection has arrived just in time for the holiday season. If you've followed the progression of the series, you'll be delighted to know that the three stories in this volume have all the fun, mystery, and mayhem that you love in the full-length books. And if you're new to the world of Minneapolis' top private sleuth and her equally talented brother, Harry, then you are in for a real treat! The stories are told through the eyes of Harry, which lends a bit of the whimsical to the narrative as Harry pulls no punches regarding his sister's down falls as well as why she is the best PI for any client looking for justice in a cruel world. You can feel the love, trust, and admiration between the two characters as Hawes has done a superb job allowing the dialog to show the reader the tight, though somewhat flawed relationship between a brother and sister. Hawes is a master of his craft, and these three tales pack a lot of surprise and intrigue inside each crisply written mystery. One of the things I like best about this collection is that even though the common thread throughout the book is that it's the holiday season, these are not stories about Christmas mysteries, but rather good old fashion mysteries that happen to take place during Christmas time. It's a wonderful blending of a magical time of year and the realization that mystery, bad decisions, and crime do not take a break during the holidays. Do yourself a favor, and pour a cup of eggnog (spiked if you prefer), get cozy in front of the fireplace, and enjoy some of the best storytelling you'll find between the pages of a book.
