Story
Murder is nothing new for Sheridan Hendley, amateur sleuth, or her husband, Detective Brett McMann. Still, shots fired add a layer of tension to babysitting and being neighborly. This time the murder is too close for comfort. There are no witnesses and no verified identification of the victim, not to mention the car accident prompting Sheridan to be next door. Questions are raised about an investment company and business practices. Could a kitten have the key to the motive and killer? As more information is revealed, Sheridan is in danger.

When the cybersecurity expert who checked out Stacie’s computer turns up dead, Stacie and her good friend and IT whiz, Trina, find themselves entangled in the ensuing murder investigation. Who killed Sam and why? Was the motive personal or was Sam silenced because he discovered potentially illegal activity as part of a client’s routine security audit? With Stacie at her side, Trina reaches out to other tech people who knew Sam in an effort to connect the dots and, in the process, places both women in the sights of a killer.

After my second husband bails without a word, I’m moving back to my hometown, San Marcos, Florida, one of the nation’s oldest cities. I’m here to open a nearly 300-year-old inn and hopefully begin a new life. It turns out the inn comes with ghosts and other supernatural features. And the paranormal in my genes is going haywire. By touching an object, I can read the thoughts and emotions of other people who have touched it. Sweet emotions as well as memories of murder.

Holidays & Murder
I really enjoyed this fifth book in the "Stacie Maroni Mystery" series. It amused me that Stacie was once again dragged into a murder investigation, even though her friends always tell her "Not to get involved". I find this series hilarious. I appreciate the relationship between Stacie and her friends and also the relationship between Stacie and her father. I recommend this series to others who enjoy this genre. Naomi Rose-Mock's narration was great as her performance fits the character of Stacie and the series well. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Great characters
This is the fifth book in the Stacie Maroni Mystery series. It begins with Stacie going shopping with friends for Christmas presents. A t the mall, they hear shots fired coming from Santa’s area. Santa’s elf has been shot. Stacie and her friends deal with helping the elf, notifying the police of an active shooter situation, and then try to help the detectives solve the crime.
Her relationship status is up in the air, the elf shooting has her wondering why others wouldn’t help the elf, her father is going on a cruise with his new wife, her brother is deployed, and life still goes on.
I enjoyed the story and the characters. I wished the book was a little longer. Already looking forward to the next episode.

Short but great mystery
Stacie and her friend are shopping at the mall when they hear shots fired. Stacie sees that Santa’s elf has been shot. She goes to help the girl until the first responders arrive. They notice a couple of suspicious men on scene. Stacie and her friends get involved in the investigation and it seems they now have a target on their backs too.
This is the fifth book in the series but my first. I had no problems with understanding the characters and their relationships. This was an interesting story and pulled me in from the beginning. It is a short story but does not lack any components of a good mystery. There were plenty of suspects and twists and turns to keep me guessing. I will definitely read more of this series in the future.
I listened to the audio version of the book. The narrator does a wonderful job with the characters and story telling. She has a pleasant voice that makes listening to the story enjoyable.
All thoughts and opinions are my own, and in no way have I been influenced by anyone.

Ho ho ho Stacie helps solve a homicide
The title “Holidays, Hijinks & Murder” (by Christa Nardi) is the perfect title for the story. While preparing for Christmas, Staci Maroni and her friends become embroiled in a shooting and murder at the mall. I love the camaraderie of the friends and their willingness to help each other. Of course, they help solve the mysteries, and have a great Christmas party. The narration by Naomi Rose-Mock is excellent. She creates unique voices for each character and brings the story to life.

The trouble trio
I enjoyed this book and the only reason it didn't get a five star is because I wish it could have been longer. This is book five in this fun series and works very well as a standalone mystery and is great if you only have a few hours to fill in. I keep coming back to the series because I like the characters. Stacie is a great main character, she is smart and capable, so can solve the case and also know when to call for help, unlike many cozy mystery sleuths who are forever needing rescuing. Her group of friends are also fun and colourful. The mystery was good, with several targets for who the killer wanted dead and a mystery man who kept you guessing as to how he was involved or what he wanted. I also liked the Christmas theme but as it is a good mystery it can be listened to any time of the year.I
Stacie is busy at work making sure nobody goes over board with The Christmas spirit, so as a result she is not feeling it especially with her boyfriend away on a training course. Her friends decide to help by taking her Christmas shopping but when they hear gun shots, the trio heads towards the danger. They find one of Santa's Elves shot but alive. Why would a gun man only fire twice? was she the intended target and it wasn't a spree killer? Stacie and her friends keep seeing the same man and check in on Santa and his Elf, fearing the event isn't over. Then Santa is found dead and all there theories need to be looked at again with Santa as the original target but with the mystery man is still hanging around its anybody's guess who the target was or is. Can they work out what is going on in time to celebrate Christmas?
I like the narrator. She is a good choice for Stacie and her friends and gives them voices to match the picture in my head.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
