Cressida McLaughlin | The Cornish Cream Tea Christmas | Review

Blurb

Hannah Swan is looking forward to Christmas for the first time in years. Her new job as an eco-consultant is taking her – and her geeky colleague, Noah – to the beautiful Cornish village of Porthgolow for the first time.

They’re are helping the Crystal Waters Hotel to ramp up its green credentials, though after a bumpy journey, Hannah can’t shake off the feeling that Porthgolow is strangely familiar. Never able to resist a mystery, her interest is piqued when the hotel’s staff and customers report odd noises and sightings, believing the hotel to be haunted.

When bad weather cuts off Porthgolow, Hannah and Noah are looking at a Cornish Christmas. It gives them plenty of time to work out what is really going on, but will their yuletide escape send shivers up their spines? Or will it be as warm and toasty as a glass of mulled wine?

Review

Uplifting & heartwarmingly festive!

The story is beautifully crafted with fabulously relatable characters that you are invested in from the start, heartwarming friendships (and not forget to mention the scrummy food descriptions that will have your mouth watering!!).

Cornwall is written about beautifully you can easily imagine you are there right alongside the gang. Certainly, one to curl up with & get lost in. Especially as we are living in these crazy times where traveling is all but a distant memory.

This is novel is a huge dollop of magic, the perfect feel-good read to keep you warm in the winter! 

It is number three in the series, however can easily be read as a standalone. I haven't read the first two yet but I am certainly going to hunt them down in the New Year while I'm eagerly awaiting book four.

A huge thanks to Anne Cater & Harper Collins for gifting me a copy in return for an open & honest review.
