You don’t need to be a regular reader of [Perry's] various mystery series to enjoy these Christmas treats, but it sure would help ... Perry’s most suspenseful holiday mystery to date ... For me, the Christmas season would not be official without this annual tale from Perry, and she may have given her readers the best Yuletide gift yet.
... less rewarding than others in the series ... An obvious villain disappoints. This is an unmemorable effort by a prolific author who is usually better.
