CHARACTERS, PLOTTING, AND DEVELOPMENT:
First and foremost, for a short novella, Author Caroline Johnson packed Christmas Mystery Of The Heart with mystery, suspense, and romance. Keeping in mind the length of the book, I found the story-line solid and interesting. Novella’s, aka short novel, have to move and develop quickly.

I found the premise of the story intriguing and personalities of the children heartwarming. I love a good clean romance and this story has these elements.
