Welcome to the Great Escapes Virtual Book Tour for Dash Away All (A Merry & Bright Handcrafted Mystery) by Christina Freeburn. Stop by each blog on the tour for interviews, spotlights, reviews and more!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…Merry Winters is excited for her dream-come-true moment: Being an on-site crafter for a Christmas movie.
The tidings of joy are short-lived as she finds herself becoming a referee, dealing with a raging Ebenezer, participating in a bucket brigade, and finding evidence in a “murder.”

Dash Away All (A Merry & Bright Handcrafted Mystery)
Cozy Mystery
3rd in Series
Publisher: Henery Press (July 7, 2020)
Hardcover: 264 pages
Is someone trying to stop the production or is it tied to a secret someone has on Luna Carmichael, the star of the movie and the queen of Christmas?
When Marie, Luna’s assistant, stumbles away from a car accident and dies, Merry believes the accident wasn’t quite so accidental. Was Luna or Marie the target? Merry finds more questions than answers, but one thing is certain: Everyone has an ulterior motive for being part of the production—including Marie.
After another murder, Merry wonders if the deaths are tied to a baby born long ago and abandoned. And more importantly, will Merry live long enough to find out?
My review of Dash Away All
We need a little Christmas; right this very minute….We do don’t we? Christmas means good cheer. Tidings of comfort and joy. Decorations, family, and music. In Dash Away All, it also means murder! I love Christmas, so, obviously, I love Christmas movies. So does Merry, and when she gets the chance to work as a crafter on set with the queen of Christmas movies, Luna Carmichael, she jumps at it! I don’t blame her! Though I’m not crafty, I’d jump at the chance to be on set with one of the Hallmark Christmas queens! You know who I’m talking about…Candance, Lacey, Danica, etc. It would be so cool! However, I’d hope these ladies are nothing like Luna because her onscreen persona doesn’t match her in real life at all.
Dash Away All is the third book in the Merry & Bright Handcrafted Christmas Mystery series, but it’s the first I’ve read. This didn’t hinder me from enjoying the story since only Merry and a couple of other characters play a role in this book. I had no clue who the murderer was in Dash Away All. Sure, there were some hints, but so many characters had means, motive, and opportunity! I enjoyed reading this cozy mystery, and I think you will too (especially if you’re Christmas crazy!).
