A Christmas Mystery with a Bookish Twist! Some secrets are meant to be found. Celia Rodriguez never expected her first Christmas in Pine Valley to involve more than books and bindings. But when she discovers a lost letter tucked inside an antique book, she finds herself at the center of a decades-old mystery—one tied to the town’s most prominent family. With the help of a widowed detective, a curious Chihuahua, and her grandmother’s old bookbinding notes, Celia must uncover the truth before the town’s Christmas Heritage Festival. But some stories were never meant to be told… and someone in Pine Valley would rather this one stay buried. Can Celia piece together the past before the clues slip through her fingers like crumbling pages? Will Taco, her mischievous Chihuahua, sniff out the truth before it’s too late? And will Christmas in Pine Valley bring more than just answers—perhaps even a chance at love?
----------My review notes--- 4 Stars for Title: A sweet Mystery
 
 Celia Rodriguez has no idea what she's stepping into,except that t was painful to be there unlocking that door.  I liked that she remembers that her grandmother used to say that, some stories deserve a second chance. I love the name  Taco, that Celia named  her tiny, abandoned new found "friend".  Finding that letter was a shock. 
Lucia Morales, librarian  and Miguel Torres was glad to see her back. She loves getting back into repairing books. Detective Jesus Morales makes a friendly visit to her store. And the mystery begins to unfold with the help of her friends. Not bad for a short story. 
---------------- Not Added to my reviews-----
Marina Ruiz has The Story to tell And there is no romance in the story for Celia. Although sweet I really don't want to read more.
