Review; Here Comes Santa Paws (Melanie Travis #24) by Laurien Berenson

Earlier this year I was fortunate enough to recieve an ARC of the cosy mystery novel Here Comes Santa Paws (Melanie Travis #24) by Laurien Berenson through Netgalley. I read it shortly afterwards and today I'll post my review.

Description from Goodreads
It's the most wonderful time of the year in Connecticut, but Melanie Travis finds surviving this December may take a real Christmas miracle when a yuletide murderer comes to town . . .

As Melanie attempts to deck the halls in a house overrun by pampered Poodles, her event planner friend, Claire, is busy playing Santa--beard and belly not included--for the wealthiest clientele on Connecticut's Gold Coast. A personal shopper gig in the affluent town of New Canaan seems like business as usual. Except Claire's stylish stint comes at a higher price than she bargains for when she stumbles over her newest customer's dead body on the job. Named a prime suspect for murder, she begs for Melanie's help, then vanishes like cookies and milk on Christmas Eve . . .

Determined to track down Claire, Melanie and her nosy Aunt Peg dash into a dizzying investigation that leads to even more questions. Why was homicide victim Lila Moran, a secretive woman with an untraceable past, permitted to live on a well-known socialite-turned-recluse's private estate, and is Claire keeping her own incriminating secrets under wraps? Now, with a grinchy New Canaan detective on their case and disturbing clues piling up like presents beneath the tree, the crime-solving duo must rein in a sinister Kris Kringle before they're the next ones on someone's deadly wish list . . .

My Thoughts on the Book
Here Comes Santa Paws was a fun Christmas-themed cosy mystery with a well developed plot and characters. Dogs made it even more fun.
