Christmas is coming… and so is murder…

It’s holiday season in small-town Doyle, and the town is pivoting from UFO tourism to Bigfoot Days. What’s the owner of a UFO-themed B&B to do? Stop the shift, of course. And control-freak Susan Witsend is just the woman to put the alien back in… Christmas?

But when Bigfoot is blamed for a mass garden gnome theft, Susan is drafted to track down the kidnapped gnomes. The holiday season hits another sour note with the murder of a member of her caroling group. Are Susan’s organization skills up to juggling missing gnomes and tracking down a killer in time to ring in the festivities?

Because as Susan and friends unwrap motives and alibis, she finds herself adding more names to the naughty list. She may have to face some hard truths about her own limits and about just how far a not-so-jolly killer will go…

Gnome Alone is book five in the laugh-out-loud Wits’ End mystery series. A fast-paced and funny mystery packed with quirky characters, pets, and murder, it’s perfect for fans of Jana DeLeon, Janet Evanovich, and Donna Andrews.Get cozy and beam up this hilarious mystery today!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bigfoot and Gnomes at a UFO Bed and Breakfast?!
Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2021
Verified Purchase
This wacky murder series features a B&B with an UFO theme and a highly organized owner who "helps" the sheriff solve local murders and mysteries. If you like dry humor and lots of chuckles, you will love Wits End B&B and Susan Witsend. When three older gentlemen have garden gnomes stolen from their yard during a new and controversial Bigfoot Days celebration, only Susan is willing to help her friends, and take on the missing gnomes mystery. Soon gnomes are disappearing all over the town of Doyle. Bigfoot is mentioned over and over as being seen near the location of these thefts. Before long there is a murder, and rumors fly around the town. Is Bigfoot a murderer?

I love the idea of a fun B&B with a UFO theme and Susan's UFO foods and decorations. The characters (both series regulars and story specific ones) are interesting and frequently quirky people. The scenes are very descriptive and I can close my eyes and picture clearly the places and people described. I feel like I am enjoying a mini vacation with each book I read.

A delightful series, and this episode is one of my favorites. I loved the snowmen scene especially!

I laughed at all the chaotic Christmas story lines going on thru the book and paused to think about the quieter moments of reflection . If you love a good story line and great characters you will love all of this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Hilarity from Kiersten Weiss
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2021
The crazy cast of characters from the town of Doyle is back again. This time the UFO-obsessed town is trying to add Bigfoot Days into their holiday celebrations. So naturally, a Bigfoot creature is stealing yard gnomes.

Our intrepid heroine, Susan, is recruited to investigate since the sheriff’s office is busy. But, when a murderer strikes, the investigation takes a deadly turn.

The author writes with a delightful sense of humor and sarcasm. She has the ability to make the words form a movie in your head. The intrigue builds page by page with red herrings and misdirections galore.

The covers of this series are so well done. They are funny, bright, and vibrant. I also reviewed War of the Squirrels from this series and featured Never Say Chai from Kirsten's Tea & Tarot Cozy Mystery series

While this book is part of a series, it can be read as a stand-alone. With cozy mysteries though, I find I enjoy them more if I read them in order.

Grab a copy of this laugh-out-loud tale today. Gnome Alone is a great holiday stress reliever!

I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.
