Candy Cane Murder

**Note: I only read the Hannah Swensen mystery in this volume, not the other two included stories. My rating is based only on the first story.**

I really enjoyed this Christmas story from the Hannah Swensen universe. When Santa is murdered, Hannah and friends must investigate and find the killer. I am starting to find these books a tad scripted though (I mean, they have been since the beginning, but I am just finding it more obvious as I read more of them). I suppose this is part of the cozy mystery genre though. Either way though, this was a fun holiday themed story.
