to the Sgt. Windflower family of books.Author: Mike Martin
Publisher: Ottawa Press and Publishing

Genre: Mystery/Memoir
Christmas in Newfoundland is a special time. In the depths of long winter nights memories are made and stories are told. Of Christmas by candlelight and horse and buggy rides to church. Of shopping on Water Street in St. John’s before malls and the Internet.
In later years, Sgt. Windflower came to work and then to stay in the quiet town of Grand Bank by the Atlantic Ocean where the salt air froze in the wind and the Mounties were welcomed to warm themselves by every fire.
Come and warm yourself by the fire and hear their stories. Some memories and some mysteries. Enjoy some holiday time with Sgt. Windflower and all the familiar characters that you’d come to know and love. Good food, good friends and always another chair at the table.

My Review:
I loved the Christmas feeling that was given by the author and his words and stories that he included in this memoir. It was a very nostalgic. I love Christmas time and reading about it. Each chapter is a story so it was a fairly easy read. Read a short chapter when you had a few minutes to read and then come back to the book and not have to remember where you left the characters. The stories held my attention.
