Review: 

This was such a great read. Full of drama and great characters. A perfect festive read for fans of cozy crime and detective clubs. 

I liked the way that the chapters moved between present time and the past leading up to the murder. It gave extra snippets of information to help you with your who done it theories. 

I also like how the author used they/them when writing about interactions with possible suspects as this left the suspect pool wide open. 

The characters were well written and easy to relate to. I particularly felt for Jeannie with the twins and over heating in a Christmas jumper. 

I would love to read more books about the Bad Girls Agency’s work. 

Review from reading ARC on NetGalley 

Description (taken from NetGalley) 

Don't miss this BRAND-NEW screamingly funny festive mystery that fans of Richard Osman, Agatha Christie, and How to Kill Men and Get Away With It will ADORE 🔎🎄🕵️‍♀️ Roll up, roll up… this year’s Christmas show has a twist you won’t see coming… murder! 🩸🔪

When Clio – a former actress and current struggling private detective – manages to score a key role in the town’s Christmas pantomime, she’s secretly delighted. At last, perhaps, her talents will be recognized?

It’s all going dramatically well, until their esteemed director is found murdered on the opening night. And Clio knows it’s up to her to find out who the mistletoe murderer is.

She knows her best chance of capturing the culprit is to bring her best friends Amber and Jeanie into the cast. Even if the best way to sneak them in is to carefully conceal them both in a pantomime cow costume.

But before she can cry ‘he’s behind you’, all of them will be in danger for their lives, as there’s a murderer with only one thing on their mind… to bring the curtain down on the Mistletoe Murder Club. Forever.
