"I enjoy stories set in the past and Heather Haven's did not disappoint with her well researched setting in history. The main character Persephone Cole was likeable and well rounded. I was drawn into her plight to find a murderer and clear an innocent woman's name from the first page. The plot was easy to follow but complicated enough to keep the reader's attention throughout. I found 'Christmas Conundrum' entertaining and engaging. Definitely a 5 star read for young adults and adults!" ~ Killarney Sheffield

"The first chapter of Persephone Cole and the Christmas Killings Conundrum was sent to me by author Heather Haven. This is a Books We Love holiday mystery.
KEEP READING? You betcha. In this first chapter, Haven manages to create a cast of characters you immediately connect with and care about: from Percy a street-smart, sarcastic dame with a penchant for Marlene Dietrich-style pant suits and pistachios to her boy-crazy younger sister Serendipity to her daffy mother and more. I don't always like so many characters introduced right away, but Haven did a fine job of giving them just enough interaction that the reader isn't confused.
I am eager to see how this mystery plays out. Haven's style of humorous private eye stories continues with this latest endeavor. And I love it!" ~ Cheryl Malandrinos, The Book Connection, First Chapter Reviews
