Book Review and Giveaway - A Christmas Conundrum: A Liz Adams Mystery by Stacy Wilder
My Review
Liz Adams is preparing for Christmas in Charleston with her husband Brad when she becomes involved in solving a mystery. Her friend Lou, an event planner, is having an issue with missing Christmas decorations - first in one area and then all over town!
I wanted to read A Christmas Conundrum because I love cozy mysteries and like Christmas settings.
This was a fun short read (novella length). The mystery is very light - missing decorations, not murder or an act of violence. The Charleston setting is charming.
This book is part of a series but it worked fine as a standalone.
I liked Liz, her family, and her friend Lou. She also has a lovable lab dog named Duke. Liz is a professional private investigator, with a specially equipped van and a white board at home where she sorts out mysteries. I found her process of detection fascinating.
Fans of cozy mysteries who are looking for a short holiday read will enjoy A Christmas Conundrum.
Book Synopsis
Nancy Drew meets How the Grinch Stole Christmas in this delightful cozy mystery set in Charleston, SC.

He implores his neighbor and friend, Private Investigator Liz Adams, to bring the thief to justice.The clock is ticking. It’s only ten days until the mayor’s big holiday celebration. The party that will make or break Lou’s business.
Liz’s mom, Babs, steps in to help, and the investigation becomes complicated. Suddenly the holidays are not all mistletoe and merriment when Bab’s life is threatened. Will Liz and her lie-detecting Labrador retriever, Duke, discover the perpetrator before it’s too late?
Experience Charleston in the city’s full Christmas glory in this fun fast-paced holiday story.
