Maddy's Christmas Wedding by Rosie Green #LittleDuckPondCafeBook37#review

  Here we are at Book 37 in the Little Duck Pond Cafe series! Maddie's Christmas Wedding is the latest novella by Rosie Green.   With the wedding of the year approaching, excitement is running high at the café! But there's just one problem. Maddy is grappling with a secret. Could it derail all of hers and Jack's glorious plans for their big day? Will there actually be a wedding?   My Thoughts In this latest festive story, we are taken out of Sunnybrook, in fact, out of the country and taken for a wintry stay in Lapland. It is Maddy's hen party gathering so some of the Little Duck Pond characters are along too. The story continues on from the earlier Cosy Nights and Snowball Fights . The setting is idyllic and so different to life at home. Everything shimmers and shines in the snow and the temperatures are extreme. Maddy should be having the time of her life but she finds that she has a lot on her mind and a heartbreaking decision to make.     With the men le...

Snow Falls Over Sunnybrook by Rosie Green #Review #Novella #LittleDuckPondSeries

 


Welcome to Book 18 in the marvellous Little Duck Pond Cafe series of novellas, with Snow Falls over Sunnybrook, by Rosie Green. !

 The chance to spend a night ghost-hunting alone with Hudson Holmes at Brambleberry Manor seems like a dream come true for Ruby Watkiss. Maybe, she thinks, this is their chance to get closer? But when mysterious goings-on start happening which have nothing to do with the spirit world, the pair are catapulted off on another sleuthing adventure. And as the snow starts to fall and emotions are rising at the Little Duck Pond Cafe, Ruby is faced with a double challenge. Can she be braver than she's ever been, in order to rescue something very close to her heart? And can she convince Hudson that Christmas really can be the most wonderful time of the year?

 

My Thoughts

As ever, I enjoyed a return trip to Sunnybrook and was keen to discover how Ruby and Hudson's story was going to pan out. These two amateur sleuths have had their own little cosy crime trilogy within the series which has expended the scope of the stories and added some energy to the storylines. I like how their investigations have been interwoven into the lives of the characters we know so well.

    This is a warm and inviting series. It takes you from Hallowe'en through to Christmas so is perfect winter reading. Whether Ruby and Hudson ever move past best friends I will leave for you to discover. Just be aware that the story is full of friendship, romance and the odd surprise.  

In short: a warm, comforting read
