The third installment of this series had me laughing, scratching my head, and totally immersed in the story. We join the same cast of characters with a focus on Maddie and her day to day with the paranormal museum. She is gearing up for the Christmas season and with that comes the Christmas Cow. Once again, someone sets the cow aflame but this time murder comes right along with it. Maddie jumps head first into the investigation this time with help from her mother.
This series is such a joy and just so much fun. Every detail about the paranormal museum and Maddie I love and cannot get enough of. I find it so hard to compose a review without spoilers because I just want to share everything, The characters are so wonderfully simple yet complex, the story line perfection, and the relationships written so well you feel like you are right there. I cannot wait for the next installment.

A cute cozy with a fair mystery and solution that kept me guessing. Maddie Kosloski is getting a handle on running the Paranormal Museum in San Bernadetto when she gets involved with investigating another death. For the past several decades, a straw Christmas cow is built for the Christmas holiday celebration. Unfortunately, part of that tradition has been for pranksters to burn the cow. And even worse, one of volunteers trying to protect it has been killed. Maddie is helped by her mother, a charming assortment of friends and a special police detective. An enjoyable read.

Lovely and funny cozy mystery.. A humorous cozy that is two whodunnit in one with some romance.
Many thanks Midnight Ink and Netgalley for giving me the chance to read and review.

My college roommate would have loved this Christmas cow tradition as much as she loved cows! But this is a wonderfully quirky, make you laugh mystery that I seriously loved and enjoyed despite not reading the rest of the series, I will have to check the rest of it out though.

You have got to love a mystery where the words “The cow is under attack” are central to the story. The cow in question is actually made of straw and is a Christmas tradition in the small California town that Maddie Kosloski calls home. People often try to destroy it, but this year someone has been killed in the crossfire. An accident? Maybe not. Maddie, owner of the local paranormal museum and gift shop sets out to find out why the local farmer was killed, much to the dismay of a very attractive police detective. This series is so much fun, I love the little town and Maddie’s kooky family and friends and was thrilled to see her getting closer to Detective Slade

Charming, quirky and laugh out loud tell you snort like a pig funny. It's a well written mystery, with a down to earth female protagonist that you will love. There is something in this book for everyone, mystery, secrets a little romance, burning straw cow set on fire by crossbow shooting gingerbread men, cursed cow bell's all that good stuff and so much more. Hope there will be a book 4 and that it tops this one.
