The Christmas Clock by Kat Martin (2009)

 

I’ll admit I was drawn to this book for two reasons –it takes place in a small Michigan town and the main character’s name is Sylvia. As I rarely see my name in print The Christmas Clock was a must read.

Christmas is the time of year for believing in miracles and happy endings and The Christmas Clock delivers. This is a heartwarming tale of love lost and found, saying goodbye and saying hello.

Three intersecting storylines are packed into the novella’s 131 pages, all revolving around a Victorian clock in the local antique store a young boy wants to buy for his ailing grandmother. Some readers might find the book too simple in its predictability while others will be looking for the nearest Kleenex box. The Christmas Clock is standard-issue sentimental holiday fare but enjoyable, nonetheless.

Kat Martin is best known for her historical fiction and romantic suspense titles. She mostly writes series’ but also has standalone titles. Her latest series, Maximum Security, features three brothers and the security business run by one of them. The first two novels in the series can be found on EPL’s shelves.

3.74 stars on Goodreads, 4.3 on Amazon
