Silent Night

Colleen Coble · 2012
62/100
👎 Skip It

Colleen Coble handles grief — specifically the loss of a pregnancy — with real tenderness against a snowy Upper Peninsula Christmas backdrop, paired with a missing-parachutist mystery. It's a novella, though, so the mystery and emotional arc both stay pretty light, and it leans on readers already invested in her Rock Harbor series. Sweet, but slight.
