Somehow, I missed this show when it released in 2024. Too bad.
The good news is that, with Netflix, I can catch up.
So, what is the show about? Well, think: Hallmark Christmas meets Murder, She Wrote.
Only better.
At first, I found myself watching and thinking, “Well, it’s a way to kill an hour or so.” (Um, pardon the pun.)
But then I realized I wasn’t just casually watching. I had become invested. Just who is our protagonist, Emily Lane?
From IMDB: Christmas store owner Emily Lane’s sleuthing skills are put to the test as she investigates local murders. Despite Detective Sam Wilner’s growing affection for her, Emily’s enigmatic past raises suspicions about her true motives.
So, did you read that last line? Emily’s enigmatic past . . . Ah, mystery within suspense. So far, Emily’s guarding her own story like the US Army and the US Mint Police guard Fort Knox.
Initially I worried that I’d have to watch all six episodes of a season to see a murder solved, but no. They’re wrapped up in a pretty red bow within two episodes each but with the overlying mystery remaining: who is Emily Lane?
So, do I recommend Mistletoe Murders on Netflix for a holiday treat? Why yes . . . and best served with a giant mug of hot cocoa topped with mini marshmallows and stirred with a candy cane.
