Summary
A Christmas delight, 'Twas the Knife Before Christmas will charm the stockings off fans of Joanne Fluke and Leslie Meier.
It's out of the cupcake tin, into the fire for Holly White's best friend, Caroline. Can Holly clear Caroline's name in time to go caroling?
When a body turns up in the dumpster behind Caroline's Cupcakes, Holly White is horrified to learn her best friend, Caroline, is the main suspect. Everyone in town, including Mistletoe, Maine's sheriff, saw Caroline fighting with the victim on the night of his death. Worse, Caroline's fingerprints are all over the murder weapon, a custom-designed marble rolling pin.
Now, just 10 days before Christmas, Holly's up to her jingle bells in holiday shenanigans and in desperate need of a miracle. Juggling extra shifts at her family's Christmas tree farm and making enough gingerbread jewelry to satisfy the crowd is already more than she can handle - and now she has to find time to clear her best friend of murder. Add in her budding relationship with the sheriff and run-ins with an ex-fiance looking to make amends, and Holly's ready to fly south until springtime.
But her Sherpa-lined mittens come off when Caroline is taken into custody. Can Holly wrap up the case in time for Christmas...even after she gains the true killer's attention? Find out in 'Twas the Knife Before Christmas, Jacqueline Frost's second pine-scented Christmas Tree Farm mystery.

Enjoyable, but a little silly at times.
It was well read, but I would like Holly to have a more distinct voice; she doesn't sound as I imagine her. It is a magical story, but that is problematic - it makes it sillier than it needs to be. The danger scenes are well written. How the characters can eat so much and not get fat, work all day and night without being tired, suffer serious injuries but recover almost immediately, have long conversations whilst playing bingo is more mysterious than revealing the culprit. It is implausible nonsense, but a lot of fun.

Festive perfection
A well-written and fun festive tale. I think this series is a cut above most cosy mysteries. It's an enjoyable book in its own right and the narration is as warm as the story.

chocolate box Christmas *****
great seasonal read worth the time and as good as the first book can't wait for book 3.
full of thrills and spills in a Christmas wonderland this murder mystery will keep you guessing and will boost your seasonal spirits.
this is never going to be great literature but I read a lot and rarely reread a book unless it's something special, however over the past 3 years I have enjoyed and read both books yearly and enjoyed them every time. please don't stop I need more!

Oh dear!
What a shame - I read the first Christmas book and loved it, so easy to listen to. Because the first book was good I selected the second - there were times when I thought I was still listening to the first book. There were at least five sections that were identical to the first book.
On the whole the story was good. The narration was excellent and she brought the book to life.

Repeats a lot of the plot in book 1
Nice festive story and well narrated, would definitely like to visit reindeer games . Holly (the lead character) is starting to annoy me however as she continually ignores all advice and nearly gets herself killed (again). The plot is a bit repetitive with book 1.
