This is audiobook is Book 6 in the Murder Mystery series, based on The Nutcracker, Christmas story. Claire works with painting faces on Nutcracker dolls and is assigned a big project that makes no sense to her, but, she does it as it is her job. When a murder happens, she finds herself and her friend Milo in the middle of solving who did it and why. Can she and Milo survive the mob? Can they stay alive and solve the mystery?
If you like a fast pace, historical read in the 1920's era, murder, drama and suspense, read this book. This is book 6 in the series, but all of the series can be read as stand alones. Each book in the series is set on a fairytale story. It is hard to give more details in the review as I don't want to disclose any spoilers.
