2024 book 180

 Ally Carter's The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year

I am decidedly NOT into Christmas romances (I'm Jewish), but I am VERY into locked-room mysteries set in fancy English houses, plus mentally I can't handle anything more complicated than a book like this right now. Anyway, this involves two mystery authors who get invited to a mysterious Christmas visit at the home of a VERY FAMOUS elderly mystery writer--who then vanishes from a locked room! The romance was cute, the mystery was solid, this wasn’t very Christmassy besides the setting, and it was JUST what my brain needed right now. Highly recommended if you want an adorable and entertaining book. A/A-.
