What better book to read during the holidays than the coziest of murder mysteries? I was so pleasantly surprised by this and the fluffy comforting atmosphere of the palace and royal courts completely won me over. If you are reading this for the plot, I will say that the mystery itself progresses more slowly but I really wasn't too bothered by it because the characters are such stars. Mrs. Bramble and Reverend Weaver are so charming and fun to follow. Honestly, this wasn't the most memorable or revolutionary read but it was a warm time nonetheless. Also, there's one of those scenes at the end where the entire mystery is explained by our dashing detective Mrs. Bramble, which I always love.
