An elf at Santa's Workshop has been murdered!
The names of the Elves were cute and clever, but the story didn't appeal to me all that much - others would probably love it. I still, however, really like Steve's writing style. I'm hoping for intriguing plots in the remaining stories of this collection.

That's too bad because the thought of an elf being murdered has so much great potential!!
ReplyDeleteStaci ~ I know others would like this one much more than I did. I think my dislike has to do with the use of imaginary characters. I prefer more realism. So one might ask why did I read a book about Santa Claus?!? ^o^ (shrugged shoulders) LOL
