Don't Toy With Me: A Christmas Cozy Mystery
When Ciara relocates to a quaint North Carolina mountain town shortly before Christmas and takes a job in a classic toy shop, the last thing she expects is to end up investigating a robbery. But when someone steals the rent her attractive boss Nick owes to the landlord, the two are determined to work together to bring the culprit to justice. Can they solve the crime, or will only Santa know who's stolen the money and ended up on his naughty list?

Slice of life in a toy story
This little slice of life drama follows starting over in a small town toy store. The plot is not very in depth but it is a nice relaxing read when the snow is falling.

This was a short but interesting mystery with just a hint of romance. It's refreshing to have a mystery that doesn't involve a murder. I hope this is the start of a new series. I liked the characters and hope to get to know them better.

It really wasn’t that bad! It’s what you would expect, and there’s loads of typos and the like, but it was a nice, silly little small town mystery of who stole something. I actually look at this fondly.

Resumes in hand and comfortable walking shoes on my feet, I trotted down the front steps of the charming wood-frame house I'd leased the preceding week.
A charming cozy mystery with no murder victim set in the lovely NC mountains. A quick read at lunch that made me happy.

A cute little mystery set around Christmas. I wish it had been longer, though. I would enjoy more of Ciara and Nick in the future.
