Castle Rock is celebrating Christmas in July with a huge music festival, but Bronwyn Sinclair is feeling less than festive. After all, how can it feel like Christmas when the temperatures are scorching hot? Unfortunately, someone else at Castle Rock's music festival isn't feeling the holiday spirit either, and one of the judges will soon pay the price. Can Bronwyn discover the Scrooge who is threatening to ruin Christmas in July?

SLEIGHED AT CASTLE ROCK is a short story connected to the Amelia Grace Rock 'n' Roll Mystery series featuring the concert venue, Castle Rock, and some of its employees. SLEIGHED AT CASTLE ROCK focuses on Bronwyn rather than Amelia as the main character and thus it is easy to jump into the story as a new reader to the series. However, I'm hooked after reading SLEIGHED AT CASTLE ROCK and will definitely be reading other books in the Amelia Grace Rock 'n' Roll Mystery series soon!

I laughed so hard I cried! Bronwyn is a fantastic main character, and I'm truly sorry she's not the heroine of the Amelia Grace Rock n'Roll Mystery series because I absolutely love her. Bronwyn is spunky, quick on her feet to handle difficult situations, loyal to her friends, but best of all she's hilariously funny. The scene where she first tries on her costume makes me laugh even now!

SLEIGHED AT CASTLE ROCK is a short but very entertaining mystery that whets the reader's appetite for more by this talented author. Anne Marie Stoddard packs this tale with likable characters, a good solid mystery, and plenty of humor. Seeing the music industry from the concert venue's perspective offers readers an interesting approach and I look forward to reading more books set at Castle Rock.
