3/5 ⭐⭐⭐
The Groundskeeper’s Daughter is a short and spooky Christmas novella that combines murder mystery, romance, and the supernatural.
✨ Holiday Vibes
✨ Murder Mystery
✨ First-Person POV
✨ Twists & Turns
✨ Quick Read
Molly returns home to Smith and Stone Cemetery for the holidays and accidentally disturbs the ghost of Old James. When James' living relative, Jay, arrives, the two must work together to solve a centuries old murder and stop the ghost from killing again.
The story offers some fun twists and a unique mix of eerie suspense and holiday vibes. However, the novella felt a bit rushed, and Molly and Jay’s romance sparks quickly, perhaps too quickly (She fell in love in just one day!). I wish the characters and plot had been explored in more depth, as the premise had a lot of potential. That being said, the fast pacing kept me hooked, and I finished it in just two sittings.
If you’re looking for a quick, spooky holiday read with a touch of romance, this is worth adding to your Christmas list.
Many thanks to BookSirens for the ARC of The Groundskeeper's Daughter in exchange for an honest review.
