5 stars for Joel Leslie’s performance! ?

Side note: even though this is Book #5 in the Curl Up and Dye Mysteries, this actually picks up after Unscripted Love and Someone to Call My Own in the Road to Blissville series, which is an offshoot of this series following Josh and Gabe’s friends. You don’t have to read those to enjoy this.

Josh and Gabe return for holiday shenanigans. There is a lot happening: Josh and Gabe’s children are coming up on a year old, both sets of grandparents come to stay for two months, there’s a mystery where someone keeps stealing and vandalizing all the Christmas decorations, some relationship drama between Josh’s coworkers, and some news for bestie Meredith.

It’s a lot of love and life packed into all the craziness of the holidays and Joel Leslie knocks it out of the park. I love his performances of this series so much. ❤️ Absolutely recommended on audo.
