An innkeeper who reads minds. An ornery detective. And a trail of bodies. Cider Cove is the premiere destination for murder. My name is Bizzy Baker, and I can read minds—not every mind, not every time but most of the time and believe me when I say it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. It’s Christmas in Cider Cove and it’s time for the annual house decorating competition. But on the night set to … decorating competition. But on the night set to determine the winner, the residents of Candy Cane Lane get more than they bargained for. They don’t just get an award—they get murder.
Bizzy Baker runs the Country Cottage Inn, has the ability to pry into the darkest recesses of both the human and animal mind, and has just stumbled upon a body. With the help of her kitten, Fish, a mutt named Sherlock Bones and an ornery yet dangerously good looking homicide detective, Bizzy is determined to find the killer.
The Country Cottage Inn is known for its hospitality. Leaving can be murder.
A laugh out loud cozy mystery by New York Times Bestseller Addison Moore and her partner in cozy crime, Bellamy Bloom.

Book description: “It’s Christmas in Cider Cove, and it’s time for the annual house-decorating competition. But on the night set to determine the winner, the residents of Candy Cane Lane get more than they bargained for. They don’t just get an award. They get murder.”
This is the third book in the series which introduces even more colorful human characters. One of whom is Deputy Leo Granger, Jasper’s ex-best-friend and the man who came between Jasper and Camila. If that isn’t enough to spice up the story, Bizzy learns that Leo has a gift. He can also read the thoughts of people and animals. This is really getting weird, don’t you agree? And of course, to fill our hearts with warm fuzzies, the introduction of an adorable pair of kittens, Mistletoe and Holly.
I do not like reviews which include spoilers, so, you won’t find any here. What I will say is that this story was an entertaining, clean, fun, and easy read. If you enjoy reading a good whodunit mystery with a little romance and a lot of drama and angst mixed in for flavor, then I highly recommend this book to you.

Santa Claws Calamity is the perfect cozy mystery to cozy up with pairs with a nice cup of hot chocolate. It’s Christmas time in Cider Cove where the lights are a glow, with holiday cheer, and a murder full of clues. Bizzy Baker has a full plate, she has to keep the holiday activities flowing at the country cottage inn, deal with unwanted ex’s, and catch a killer.

I read this with nothing but gold in my mind, and Addison and Bellamy ABSOLUTELY delivered.

Bizzy Baker is the keeper of the Country Cottage Inn. She is great with people and animals. The fact that she can read their minds definitely gives her an advantage but she always uses it for good.

Unfortunately she has figured out that Bizzy has the ability to read minds and she is just about ready to out her to her boyfriend Jasper. Will he freak out and leave her or love her like she is? I can’t wait to find out!!
It’s Christmas at the Country Cottage in Cider Cover, and Bizzy Baker once again finds herself in the middle of a murder mystery. With her trusty sidekicks Fish and Sherlock Bones, Bizzy is on the case to solve the murder, and to win the holiday decorating competition.
As usual, this is a fun. light read from Addison Moore and Bellamy Bloom. It’s a quick read, full of humor and hijinx, and very entertaining.
It’s Christmas at the Country Cottage in but that doesn’t mean the murders or the mysteries stop.
Bizzy finds herself, once again in the middle of both a murder mystery and a holiday decorating competition, to say she’s busy is an understatement.
Helping her solve the murder are my favorite side kicks, Fish and Sherlock Bones.
The humor us high, the mystery interesting and the plot fun! I really enjoy reading thus series because bit is light and refreshing. These two authors really understand entertainment!
This is a safe read and full of the holiday spirit. If you want to get in the mid early this story will surely to the trick! received an ARC via Booksprout and I am leaving an honest review.
What a phenomenal story that is a perfect fit for this series. Bizzy is a great character. She’s entertaining and her antics keep me interested from beginning to end. I’m looking forward to the next book and the possible crossover story between this series and Addison Moore’s Murder in the Mix series. Reading a book that will have both Bizzy Baker and Lottie Lemon, great character names btw, together is going to be a serious hoot.
This was a really great addition to the Country Cottage Series! Knowing what others are thinking can be useful, especially when trying to solve a murder, but it will take more than just reading minds for Bizzy Baker to solve this one. With the help of her furry friends and a handsome homicide detective, Bizzy can hopefully catch a murderer before she becomes a victim! With Santa, holiday cheer, sweet treats, and chaos that the holidays seem to bring, this is one story that’s to die for!
