All I Want for Christmas (Harlequin Intrigue)

Summary: A Satisfying Holiday Mystery
Review: Dr. Susan McKnight is trying to have a peaceful holiday with the two young children she has just been granted custody of after the death of her best friend. The last thing she needs is a stalker, which is exactly what she gets. Someone is out there, killing women who look like her, sending her letters flaunting the crimes in her face. Can Det. Jack Carter possibly find the culprit--and make a place for himself in their lives?

Joanna Wayne weaves a good Christmas mystery, though there is somewhat of a lack of suspense. It might have something to do with the fact that so many moments are spent with her characters doing nothing related to the mystery, which some will like and some might not. I had a mixed reaction--good character development, but could have used some more on the plot. Personally, I thought Jack was a little too charming and pushy, but I guess some people will think he's a good romantic hero. Generally a good story, both mysterious and romantic (althought "Dear Santa"--the title of Intrigue # 494--probably would have been a more appropriate title for this book, and "All I Want For Christmas" fitting that book better). A nice winter treat.

Review: This was the perfect blend of mystery and romance. There were genuine firewroks between the hero and heroine and the plot kept me guessing until the very end. I loved it.
