Thank you so much to NetGalley and Heather Weidner for providing me with a complimentary digital ARC for A Tisket A Tasket Not Another Casket. The honest opinions expressed in this review are my own.

I’ve read another book by this author. I really love her cozy books! The writing was great. I really enjoy the characters. I haven’t read the other books in this series, but I definitely want to go back and read them. I love Christmastime cozies. Mermaid Bay was definitely giving off cozy small town vibes. I would for sure check out other books by this author!

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christmastime cozy mysteries!

This books brings plenty of fireworks as firework companies compete in Mermaid Bay. All the while a "mermaid" is running around spilling the tea. Jade Hicks, the FMC of this series, relies on her connections to the town to help for boyfriend, Sheriff Nick find justice and find the town gossip. The cast of characters sound like they would make good friends, they are a great group of eclectic characters. We can't forget the importance of a dog or cat or both to the story. Chloe, Jade's cat, even helps solve the mystery that ignited when the fireworks companies came to town.
This book is a super example of why I enjoy cozies, from the charming town vibe to the fun cast and the mystery. Poor Jade, she and her Christmas shop, sounded like trouble magnets in this story. However, it was that trouble that kept the story moving. We also had plenty of LOL moments such as Sebastian commenting about Jade's murder wall. I recently enjoyed a series on Hallmark Mysteries and after reading this book can't help but this it would make a fun series.
Heather Weidner definitely tops my list of cozy authors and this book is a terrific example of why. I would definitely recommend it. In addition to recommending the book, I would recommend the recipes in the back of the book. YUM.
Thanks to NetGalley and Level Best Books | Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), Members' Titles for the opportunity to read this ARC.

I loved this story! Jade, Chloe, and the rest out the crew really kept me guessing throughout the story.
Christmas is getting close, and the fireworks show competition is really heating up. The 3 different companies are hoping to win, but unfortunately for two of them, there's no such thing as friendly competition.
Jade and her shop are mixed up in the mess, but she's determined to get the answers and settle things once and for all.
Chloe, her dog and side kick, is one of the best things about the book.
I really like this series and the author does an amazing job of creating wonderful stories for her readers.
Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for selecting me to read an advanced copy of this book.
This is a strong 5 star review.
