December mystery read

It's December 7th, and I finally today remembered to actually open my mystery book. I knew it was December, but sometimes my brain is like yes, it's December, but it's a separate December from the one where I'm supposed to do this. I don't know how to explain it, but once I had two things scheduled for the same date in April and legitimately thought the same date was two different days, even though I knew they were both the same date. I don't know.

Anyhow, my last book of the year is The Poison Season by Mara Rutherford! 

The words "The Poison Season" are framed by a swan with winds spread above the words, a wolf down the right side angling toward the center bottom of the image, and a fox mirroring the wolf's shape on the left

I just read another book of hers a few weeks ago and LOVED it, so I'm looking forward to this one, especially because last month's mystery book ended up being kind of a snore. If this is anywhere near as good as her other book (A Curious Kind of Magic) was, then it'll be a strong end to the year!
