THE SANTA SUIT by Mary Kay Andrews - Review & Giveaway
It's the most wonderful time of the year and the holiday cheer seems to be arriving earlier and earlier! Mary Kay Andrews offers up some comfort, support and small town secrets in her novel, THE SANTA SUIT (StMartinsPress).
Ivy Perkins is looking for a fresh start after her divorce. She wants to change her life, so she packs everything up in her home and buys a farmhouse sight unseen. She has no idea how much work it's going to take to make The Four Roses, as the farmhouse is known livable. While going through cabinets and closets she comes across a beautiful Santa suit with a handwritten note by a child in a pocket. The note shares the child's one Christmas wish, that her father comes home from the war. Ivy is determined to find out who wrote the note, did dad come home and what other mysteries there are at The Four Roses.
If you're looking for a fast, fun read to get you in the holiday mood, grab a cuppa cocoa and snuggle up with THE SANTA SUIT!
MARY KAY ANDREWS is the New York Times bestselling author of 27 novels (including Hello, Summer; Sunset Beach; The High Tide Club; The Weekenders; Beach Town; Save the Date; Ladies’ Night; Christmas Bliss; Spring Fever; Summer Rental; The Fixer Upper; Deep Dish; Blue Christmas; Savannah Breeze; Hissy Fit; Little Bitty Lies; and Savannah Blues), and one cookbook, The Beach House Cookbook.
A native of St. Petersburg, Florida, she earned a B.A. in journalism from The University of Georgia. After a 14-year career working as a reporter at newspapers including The Savannah Morning News, The Marietta Journal, and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, where she spent the final ten years of her career, she left journalism in 1991 to write fiction.
Her first novel, Every Crooked Nanny, was published in 1992 by HarperCollins. She went on to write ten critically acclaimed mysteries under her real name, Kathy Hogan Trocheck. In 2002, she assumed the pen name Mary Kay Andrews with the publication of Savannah Blues. In 2006, Hissy Fit became her first New York Times bestseller, followed by twelve more New York Times, USA Today and Publisher’s Weekly bestsellers. To date, her novels have been published in German, Italian, Polish, Slovenian, Hungarian, Dutch, Czech and Japanese.
She and her family divide their time between Atlanta and Tybee Island, GA, where they cook up new recipes in two restored beach homes, The Breeze Inn and Ebbtide—both named after fictional places in Mary Kay’s novels, and both available to rent through Tybee Vacation Rentals. In between cooking, spoiling her grandkids, and plotting her next novel, Mary Kay is an intrepid treasure hunter whose favorite pastime is junking and fixing up old houses.

The most wonderful Christmas gift was being able to spend a couple of (socially distanced) hours with my adult son on Christmas Eve 2020 during the pandemic. Met him in San Francisco (where he lives) and we walked to a nearby park and chatted.
