When driftwood artist Marnie Lane’s one-of-a-kind Christmas star vanishes just days before the Seacliff Haven Christmas Market, the last thing she expects is a cryptic note warning her to “forget the past.” With the help of her lovable giant schnauzer, Finn—who has a nose for more than just seashells—Marnie stumbles onto a trail of buried secrets, seaside clues, and a mystery tied to her late father’s legacy.
As the festive coastal town prepares for its biggest event of the year, Marnie teams up with her former rival, the brooding yet talented Sid. Together, they must untangle a treasure map, outwit a secretive saboteur, and discover the truth hiding beneath the sand and snow.
With hot cocoa, holiday cheer, and a touch of seaside romance, Doggone Driftwood Disappearance is a heartwarming, murder-free mystery perfect for fans of clever pets, crafty sleuths, and Christmas by the sea.
My Review:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I have to say that I love Heidi's writing style. It engages you and keeps you reading till the end.
This cute mystery is a doozy. It starts out with Marnie making her star out of the driftwood her and her father collected on walks on the beach. She finishes it just in time for the Christmas Festival and she is excited to see how much she will get for her star. Then one day she comes in to her shop and notices the star is missing and she starts to panic. As she is looking for it the towns people gather around her to help her find it. Then she finds a note that tells her to stop looking for the star. But she does not listen to the note. She starts out looking for the star and what she finds is so much more. That is when the mystery comes in and Marine and Sid go on this adventure to find the star and what they find is so much more.
This is a Christmas must read with a hint of mystery in it. The story flows and the characters are wonderful. Plus I love Finn the dog he is an amazing addition to the story.
