Sgt. Windflower loves Christmas and we’re happy to share what he and his family and friends do at Christmastime in Grand Bank or Marystown or Ramea, Newfoundland. Some of the stories feature Windflower and Sheila’s adorable daughters and of course Eddie Tizzard and his family make several spotlight appearances. Other stories take you back to Christmas seasons of any years long past and there’s even a return of a fabulous Newfoundland tradition, the Mummers.
Christmas is a time to celebrate but it is also a time to reminisce and remember. We hope that it will bring back pleasant memories for you and your family to share at Christmas and throughout the year. Come celebrate Christmas in Newfoundland with Sgt. Windflower Mysteries. (Summary via Goodreads)
Christmas in Newfoundland 3 by Mike Martin is a book with short stories pertaining to the characters from his Sgt. Windflower Mystery series and Christmas. This is the third book of Christmas short stories, and it really allows readers a chance to get to know the characters without a murder to solve.
Christmas in Newfoundland 3 consists of 12 stories, most of them in Windflower's voice but it also allows you to get to know Eddie Tizzard, his family and father, the Mug-Up Cafe where everyone hangs out, Windflower and Eddie's dad when they were younger, and even a story when they had a green Christmas. It's weird because when you read the Sgt. Windflower Mystery series, it is either raining or snowing in the stories.
While I was reading this book, I thought I had my favorite story picked out .... until I started reading the next one. However, if I had to pick my favorite, I think I would choose Christmas Away. In this story Eddie Tizzard is going to his fiancé Carrie's family home to meet her parents and ask her father for his blessing on them getting married. In this story you are focusing on Eddie and Carrie and get to know them a little deeper. But again, it was very hard to pick and that is only by a small margin.
Christmas in Newfoundland 3 allows readers to take a break from shopping, cooking and partying with friends and family and sit down for a few minutes with a snack and treat and read for a few minutes. You can read a story then get right back to celebrating ... or read another one. There is no wrong way to read it. Enjoy !!!
