Romance/Holidays: "Brushing Aside Spider Webs"
My 5-Star review in entirety posted at Amazon for 'Christmas Miracle on Halloween' (Book 6) by R.M. Gauthier:
A diehard ‘Christmas Miracle’ reader, I barreled through Book 6, which is by no means short on humor, Christmas Town folksiness, mystery, and intrigue.
The author has a way of drawing the reader in right away through her cinematic storytelling via the first-person narrative of Jack Bennett’s self-deprecating cynicism. To think this hard-nosed detective continues to fall under the spell of his beloved fiancée, Charlotte Rose.
In Book 6, this lovable, henpecked curmudgeon gets roped into helping set up a secret retractable door in the town’s haunted house.
In the meantime, Jack brushes aside dormant spider webs:
He investigates a fatal car crash ruled an accident.
In the attic of the old Victorian, he discovers a box of photo albums filled with memories of the Rose family, piquing his curiosity over the discrepancies of what happened to Charlotte’s mother.
Highly recommended, ‘Christmas Miracle on Halloween’ works as a stand-alone, or integral part of a series during any season.

I felt my details supported the premise I put forth in the first sentence: folksiness, mystery, and intrigue.
Best wishes for a prosperous New Year!

I will have to accept your five star rating on what I know of your writing and reading ability. Your review does not give me a clue as to why the book is five-star. I did find idea of a "henpecked curmudgeon," as a detective, interesting.
