Crimes Most Merry and Albright: A Maizie Albright Star Detective “Between Cases” Holiday Omnibus: A Romantic Comedy Mystery Box Set Featuring A View to a Chill and 17.5 Cartridges in a Pear Tree Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 105 ratings

A holiday double feature that’s criminally entertaining!

Two action-packed, romantic comedy holiday crime capers from the Wall Street Journal best-selling Maizie Albright Star Detective series.

Find out why fans love these light and fun mystery novellas with a touch of romance and a heavy dose of holiday cheer featuring the ex-celebrity turned detective (almost - she’s still in training) Maizie Albright.

A View to a Chill

Two female sleuths racing to solve the same mystery!

In this Rashomon-style Christmas mystery, while Cherry Tucker suffers from flu-induced visions of murder, Maizie Albright’s on the hunt for a missing granddaughter whose criminal stockings have long been filled with coal.

17.5 Cartridges in a Pear Tree

Raiders of the Lost Ark meets The Maltese Falcon in this Maizie Albright star detective New Year’s Eve action-and-adventure-styled, humorous, romantic crime caper.

Before champagne toasts and the Big Peach drops, Maizie has 12 hours to reprise her most detested role to protect her family from old acquaintances best forgotten and never brought to mind. Will these ruthless villains pop Maizie’s cork before the clock strikes 12? Or worse yet, drop the ball on her baby sister?

    When Maizie and Cherry get sucked into solving a Christmas Eve case, they don't exactly work together. But the laughs and crazy characters kept me reading late into the night.

    Then The second story has Maizie and Nash trying to keep a maniac from stealing a necklace made of bullets. It was a sentimental gift that she once gave her father so she had to protect it (and keep her little sister safe) while Boomer is away for the weekend. Baby sitting has never been funnier!

    I love these two series, so getting two for the price of one was a special treat!

    I was disappointed when I read this set of romantic comedies. Each was lacking romance and comedy. The mysteries were convoluted. You can however, pass or waste time reading depending on which you need to do.

    This is one of the silliest books I have read for quite some time. Don't think I will read anymore of them

    In the first book, Cherry Tucker is sick in bed with a high fever and a bad case of the flu! But her sister can’t seem to calm her down, as she’s seeing things in her feverish haze and keeps calling the cops to check out her older neighbor’s house! Of course, they never find anything but Cherry is convinced that there’s funny business going on over there (Santa choking a reindeer?).
    In the second book, Maisie’s sleuthing to find a grandmother’s errant granddaughter! She is so funny as she ignores the advice of the man supposedly mentoring her to get her PI license! A very funny Christmas themed cozy! I received a free copy of this book and write this review voluntarily.

    Great fun!
    A VIEW TO A CHILL (1 of 2 books in Crimes Most Merry & Albright) is a wonderfully entertaining, humorous, action-filled story of the antics of P.I. in training Maizie Albright. Cherry Tucker, artist, also shows up with fever dreams and a shotgun.

    17.5 CARTRIDGES IN A PEAR TREE (2 of 2 books in Crimes Most Merry & Albright) is another winner! Maizie says “No sale!” But the bad guys have other ideas. Enjoy!

    Maizie is in training to become a private investigator but someone wants a relic from a movie she made years ago and won't take no for an answer.
    This book is fun to read, the characters are cute, and I enjoyed the storyline.

    Haven't laughed this much in ages. The story is unbelievably full of characters who do the most outlandish things in their times of trouble.
