St. Nick: A Christmas Cop Novel
St. Nick: A Christmas Cop Novel | Alan Russell
4 posts | 5 read | 1 to read
When Santa Claus is a cop, you better watch out. It s not looking like a very merry Christmas for San Diego cop Nick Pappas. Suspended from his job, alienated from his family, and persecuted by the press, he s sorely tempted to turn his gun on himself. Except for his first name, he couldn t possibly have less in common with jolly old St. Nicholas. But when a local mall decides it needs a secret Santa to help collar some vicious muggers preying on its holiday shoppers, Nick s persuaded to red-suit up so as to take the naughty punks down and avert a ho-ho homicide. For a chance to bust bad guys, Nick s willing to deal with crying kids, pushy parents, and a chronically cheerful elf sidekick. But the biggest challenge for this cop-turned-Claus is one that would confound even the real Kris Kringle: making a pair of next-to-impossible Christmas wishes come true for two children in need before it s too late."

This one is my first finished audiobook #1stBookOf2018- #NewYearReads @bookloo @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Though after listening, I think I should have saved it for next Christmas! It was a bit corny and clicked in a too-predictable way, but it was light and fun for #AudioColoring

In college, my flute professor once told me (after I complained about a piece she assigned me), "Sometimes cheesy isn't a bad thing." That was basically sums up this book for me. I mean, a cop is the MC. NOT my kind of book! (Book club is the reason I read it at all.) Cheesy, kinda goofy, subtle romance, predictable tug-at-the-heart moments. I'm confused that I liked this. It was a nice, fun read. Maybe I just needed something light and wholesome?

Laura317 Maybe a nice glass of wine to go with all that cheese. 🍷 🧀 6y

This is the cheesiest book I've come across in a really long time. It includes every single Christmas cliche you could possibly think of (grinchy cop with a heart of gold, sick kids' hospital, cheerful elf with a mysterious past, underprivileged children writing heartfelt letters to Santa, redemptive love story, underdog sports team hoping for a Xmas miracle...) and yet somehow, I must admit that I enjoyed every ridiculous page. 🎅

Coleen I'm digging the cover. 7y
