An awesome cozy story! Mystery with just a flake of folklore and a touch of paranormal and a little romance too. These authors have imaginations that are truly off the charts.

~Community Bookstop

The book was wonderful seeing Bonnie again and the way she handles herself with the Tree Farm and more.
~Bab’s Book Bistro

Murder Fir Christmas was a well-crafted mystery with a spunky heroine, engaging characters and a whodunnit that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
~Moonlight Rendezvous

Right from the beginning, you meet some very interesting characters that let you know that this is not going to be your run-of-the-mill murder mystery.
~Bubble Bath Books

Bonnie is a fantastic new character, and I adored the mystical connection that she has with all animals which earns her a Cherokee name.
~Melissa’s Mochas, Mysteries and Meows

Murder Fir Christmas is a hearty book. It’s filled with well developed, interesting characters, a finely paced mystery, a slow brewing romantic interest, and intrigue in many areas on many levels to keep readers engaged.
~Cozy Up With Kathy

With a puzzling mystery, lots of wildlife, a touch of romance and some paranormal elements, I was hooked from the first chapter and didn’t stop until I read the last page. One of those books you can’t wait to finish and hate to finish at the same time.

Synopsis:

Down the mountain from Sweet Pepper, Tennessee is Christmas Tree Valley, a place filled with hundreds of Christmas tree farms where generations of growers have made people’s lives brighter. Yet even here in this quiet, postcard-perfect corner of the world, darkness and murder can still stalk the night.

Federal Wildlife Agent Bonnie Tuttle has always had a special gift with wild animals. It was one of the reasons she decided to train with the wildlife agency. She’s spent the last ten years in Alabama working, but her mother needs her home and she’s back despite all the bad parts of her life she hoped to leave behind.

Her first day home begins with a fire on the island in Sweet Pepper Lake and the death of Harvey Shelton, the wildlife agent she’s supposed to replace. Bonnie manages to rescue dozens of animals from the fire – including a wolf pup that was shot with the same bullet that killed Harvey.

Now she’s hot on the trail of Harvey’s killer and trying to reintegrate the wolf back into the wild even though he seems to want to stay with her. Yet old memories persist in the small community where she grew up, and the killer now seems to believe that she has what he killed Harvey for. All she has to do is figure out what that is before it’s too late.

My review;

"Murder Fir Christmas" by authors Joyce and Jim Lavene is a fantastic mystery novel. Bonnie Tuttle is a Federal Wildlife Agent who has had to come home after a long time away because her mother needs her. Her homecoming is not an easy or happy one. Between a fire and the man who she is replacing she has a lot to deal with. Thanks to her fast work some animals make it through the fire. Harvey, who she took over  for has been shot dead and she has to work fast to find the suspect. But, maybe the killer has decided that she knows something and they want to find out what it is. Will she be dead next?  I really enjoyed this story. I give this book a 5/5. I was given this book for a review and these are all my own opinions.
