A great series

This is a good cozy mystery. It is almost four hours long and a lot is covered in that time. I never guessed "who did it". I will definitely red more books by Christa Nardi. We have enjoyed all the books in this series.

The narration was very good. I would definitley listen to Naomi Rose-Mock narrate other books.

I was given this book at my request and have volumtarily left this review.

Cozy mystery

Holidays, Hijinks & Murder is a clean cozy mystery appropriate for older teens and up in my opinion. I enjoyed the twists and turns of the storyline and I’m looking forward to more stories from the author. The narrator gave a great performance.

Great series

This is a great book. Christa Nardi is a great author. Her books will hold your attention. I enjoyed 5th one a lot. Now to get more from this series. Just bought the next one to keep reading this series.

Holidays and Murder?

Holidays, Hijinks & Murder by Christa Nardi is an excellent cozy murder mystery. Naomi Rose-Mock did an amazing job with the narration. Holidays, Hijinks &Murder is the fifth book in the series A Stacie Maroni Mystery. The story is entertaining, interesting, enjoyable, engaging, and more. Who says murder and the holiday spirit should be talked about at the same time. When Santa’s elf is in the crosshairs of a shooter, Stacie embraces the “humbug attitude” in order to figure out what the shooters motive is. Can Stacie figure it out before another person is killed? I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. Highly recommend

Ho ho ho Stacie helps solve a homicide

The title “Holidays, Hijinks & Murder” (by Christa Nardi) is the perfect title for the story. While preparing for Christmas, Staci Maroni and her friends become embroiled in a shooting and murder at the mall. I love the camaraderie of the friends and their willingness to help each other. Of course, they help solve the mysteries, and have a great Christmas party. The narration by Naomi Rose-Mock is excellent. She creates unique voices for each character and brings the story to life.

Holidays & Murder

Stacie once again finds herself caught up in a murder and helps solving the case.
Well narrated
Enjoyed listening to a number of books in this series

Great characters

This is the fifth book in the Stacie Maroni Mystery series. It begins with Stacie going shopping with friends for Christmas presents. A t the mall, they hear shots fired coming from Santa’s area. Santa’s elf has been shot. Stacie and her friends deal with helping the elf, notifying the police of an active shooter situation, and then try to help the detectives solve the crime.

Her relationship status is up in the air, the elf shooting has her wondering why others wouldn’t help the elf, her father is going on a cruise with his new wife, her brother is deployed, and life still goes on.

I enjoyed the story and the characters. I wished the book was a little longer. Already looking forward to the next episode.

Bah humbug indeed, in all the BEST ways!

When Santa’s Elf takes a bullet at the mall Staci finds herself front and center in another investigation! Aptly named, Holidays, Hijinks & Murder is filled with delightfully defined realistic characters, features an interesting, smooth flowing plot that leaves no unanswered questions and dialogue that rings true! The narration is delightfully authentic and truly a pleasure for the ear! I loved everything about this one, especially that ending! No spoilers! Grab it and you’ll see exactly what I mean! Five fist pumping stars!

What a gift good friends are.

This was a fun book with a mystery mixed in. It reminded me how blessed the gift of friendship is. This book was filled with antics, and crime solving. the narrator has a perfect voice for reading mysteries. good job all around. thanks

Wow

A wonderful mystery with loads of suspects! It’s set around the holidays but not to Christmasy. The ending was surprising. Another fun read!
