Summary
Welcome to Nocturne Falls, the town that celebrates Halloween 365 days a year.
Jayne Frost is a lot of things. Winter elf, Jack Frost's daughter, Santa Claus's niece, heir to the Winter Throne, and now private investigator. Sort of.
Needing someone he can trust, her father sends her undercover to Nocturne Falls to find out why employees at the Santa's Workshop toy store are going missing.
Doing that requires getting to know the town, which leads to interesting encounters with a sexy vampire, an old flame, and an elevator that's strictly off-limits. The more Jayne finds out, the more questions she has, but the answers lead her deeper into danger.
Will her magic save her? Or will she come up cold?

Another good one
Kristen Painter manages to create an interesting world that is populated by strange but believable characters. This first in the series spin-off from the Nocturn Falls series is no exception.
Good performance by Hollis McCarthy.

Loved it!
Would you consider the audio edition of Miss Frost Solves a Cold Case to be better than the print version?
I haven't read the print version but thoroughly enjoyed the audio version.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Juniper - the character just appeals to me
Any additional comments?
I Enjoyed this one so much I went on to listen to the other Nocturne Falls books (they're OK-ish, but romances don't interest me as much as mysteries) and bought the second Jayne Frost book as soon as I saw the audio version was available

A Fab Start to this Cosy Paranormal Mystery Series
Kristen Painter is fast becoming a favourite author of mine and I can't wait to read more of her books; I love her writing style and find her books very easy to read.
I love all the characters that Ms Painter has created for her fictional town of Nocturne Falls and I love that this new series is set there too. I really enjoyed the mystery aspect of the plot in this book; its twists and turns, the many clues and red herrings that were revealed and although, I had guessed the big secret before it was revealed, I still found myself gripped with the story, keen to keep reading.
I downloaded the Audible version of this book and was impressed with Hollis McCarthy's performance; the pace of her narration was just right and I enjoyed her slight vocal variances for the dialogue of the different characters too.
There is absolutely no offensive content within these pages - language, violence or sex - and so I can recommend it to lovers of charming, paranormal mystery tales who enjoy a sprinkling of humour and a bit of romance with a happy ever after ending.

OK but it's NOT Nocturne Falls
What did you like best about Miss Frost Solves a Cold Case? What did you like least?
The setting in Nocturne Falls was the best thing. The worst thing was that there was no real involvement at all from any of the characters that we've come to know and love. I know it's a new series but why set it in NF if you're not going to include anyone we know? (except as the most casual passing reference)
What three words best describe Hollis McCarthy’s voice?
The narrator was OK - her voice is pleasant but her dialect/accent switching quite patchy so that our heroine ended up with an Irish accent if she was speaking to Greyson and so on. Also a lot of the characters seemed .. for no particular reason sound like someone from NY or New Jersey - which is a bit strange as NF is in Georgia and the heroine is from the north pole? As a Brit I found it particularly confusing.
Could you see Miss Frost Solves a Cold Case being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
No I really can't
Any additional comments?
I wouldn't listen to any more of this series although I may read the next book before making a final decision. I REALLY want the next Nocturne Falls (with B.J narrating) to be available now!

Fun fantasy
Any additional comments?
When Jayne’s father, Jack frost, sends her on a secret mission Jayne is thrilled to be outside the North Pole. She sees the job as a chance to improve her skills and her worth but the job gives her more than she bargains for. When she learns to care for the inhabitants of the strange town of Nocturne falls, she knows exactly what she could lose when she eventually reveals her true identity.
I was immediately drawn by the cover of this book and I’m glad I was. Jayne’s character is sweet and funny and the book sits between the fantasy, mystery, and fairy tale genres perfectly. Jayne made me laugh and the balance of characters worked well together. I also appreciated the mixture of fantasy and modern day technology and the Nocturne Falls setting was a good touch of both.

Fabulous. Nocturne Falls with a difference
OverallRate 4
PerformanceRate 5
StoryRate 4
This book takes places in Nocturne Falls but is different from the books in the Nocturne Falls series. It is the beginning of a series that stars Jayne Frost, Winter Elf, Winter Princess and Santa Claus’ niece. She is sent to the family store in Nocturne Falls to investigate members of staff that have gone missing in unusual circumstances. It has romance but is more of a mystery.
This book is written to the same high standard as the Main Nocturne Falls book. It is well written and fun while at the same time being a good mystery.
It’s a good solid supernatural, cozy mystery.
