Silver Bells at Moonglow

Written by Deborah Garner

Narrated by Shaina Summerville

Christmas at the Timberton Hotel arrives each year with a unique set of guests, some returning, some new. When this holiday brings a celebrity seeking reprieve, sisters who are distant yet closer to each other than they think, a widow approaching a new horizon, and an eclectic smattering of local townsfolk and visiting relatives, the season is certain to be eventful. Add in a hint of romance and there's more than snow in the air around the small Montana town.

Elegant decor and exquisite cuisine from resident artist and chef, Mist, form a backdrop to much needed camaraderie, bringing strangers and friends together. When the last note of Christmas carols has faded away, the soft whisper of silver bells from the front door's wreath will usher guests and townsfolk alike back into the world with hope for the coming year.

Reviews for Silver Bells at Moonglow

[fernemysteryreader · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

“Everything is an ingredient of something else. These flowers are ingredients for holiday memories, just like flour and sugar.” I discovered this series last Christmas and was immediately ensconced in comfort imagining the private hotel in Timberton, Montana, where hospitality is not simply a word but lovingly created for those needing to be away from home for various reasons. It seems hard to believe that it was merely a year ago that hotelkeeper Betty had invited Mist to stay as resident chef and artist with total freedom. Accordingly, a new level of joy and enchantment has been brought to the Timberton Hotel from the moment guests enter the door. Returning or 1st time overnight guests delight in the comfortable, cozy accommodations, the exquisite decor throughout the hotel, and guests and townsfolk alike enjoy delicious breakfasts and/or dinners at the Moonglow Café with unique menus accommodating those with allergies, special diets, and dietary preferences (i.e. vegan, gluten-free).The author has created a tantalizing setting in Timberton, Montana, and since learning of the hotel last Christmas I can't help but wish it was possible to be a recurring guest. The prospect of the cozy hotel, genuine caring by Betty and Mist, the combination of hotel holiday activities and small-town celebrations or simply reading in a cozy room or downstairs by the fire are comforting to imagine. The beauty of Deborah Garner's storytelling gives a new perspective and outlook through Mist's character that not only cheer townsfolk and guests with all of her ingredients during their visit making hearts lighter and also bring solace and peace to readers too. I could easily read the novels all in one holiday season but for now I find it adds to the peace of December as like some of the hotel guests there is an empty chair at our home with the loss all the more poignant at Christmas.
