USA Today Bestselling author Kathi Daley brings you a heartwarming mystery series about finding answers and fostering hope while building friendships and embracing the magic of life by the sea and small town holidays.

Ainsley Holloway had come to Gooseberry Bay to find answers about her past. She’d come to find an explanation for the dreams that haunted her after the death of the cop who’d both rescued and raised her. And she’d come to identify the family she couldn’t remember but knew in her heart she’d once belonged to.

Ainsley hoped that by finding these answers, she’d also find healing. She hoped that once she’d resurrected the memories buried deep in her mind, she’d find peace.

The Cottage at Gooseberry Bay is a series about, not only finding answers, but finding hope.

It’s a series about family and friendship.

It’s a series about shared holidays, festivals, and celebrations.

It’s a series about shared heartbreak and hardship.

And it’s a series about the bond that can be forged amongst strangers when tragedy binds two or more individuals with a common goal.

In book 8 in the series, Ainsley is out walking her dogs, Kai and Kallie, when she finds a man dressed as Santa sitting on a bench. The man has blood on his jacket and looks to be confused so Ainsley goes over to speak to him. When she discovers that the man seems to have some sort of amnesia and cannot remember who he is or why he is in Gooseberry Bay, Ainsley decides to take him back to the peninsula. She enlists the help of the others to help her find the identity of the man, but as they begin their search they find evidence that a man dressed as Santa was last seen running from the scene of a murder. The man seems like such a nice guy and Ainsley and the others find it hard to believe that this particular Santa is a killer. Deputy Todd figures he has all the proof he needs and arrests the man but Ainsley still isn't sure so she sets out to dig a bit deeper hoping the truth is buried deep within the evidence.

Meanwhile, Adam seems to have become an honorary Geek Squad member, Ainsley gets a new clue about the whereabouts of Wilma, and it's Christmas, which means the annual ball out at the Winchester place, local events, tree cutting. holiday decorating, and everything that makes a cozy mystery Christmas, cozy.

Fate or conspiracy? Fantastic series

Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2021

Fate or conspiracy? Amnesia or a really great act?
Ainsley Holloway has become to go-to person for finding lost objects and people.
Originally she was searching for the truth about her own past, her biological family, but now she is a P.I. helping others.

Ainsley is seeking a lost family treasure, a piece of jewelry, for a woman who has already done a wonderful job of beginning to track it down. What seems like a very difficult case turns out to be possible if all the pieces of this puzzle align.

She comes across a man dressed in a Santa suit who appears dazed and confused.
Her senses come alive and she feels she and her friends should help him.
Ainsley's friends, who have become more like family, are a very creative , curious and ingenious bunch. Even though this man has blood on his outfit and professes no memory of how he came to be in Gooseberry Bay, they believe he deserves their help.

While she takes on P.I. cases, Ainsley is always looking for clues to help her locate her sister, a sister who may not even remember Ainsley exists. There is more information on that front, but will it also open up more questions?

The characters are great, I love the friendship and loyalty in this series.
Kathi Daley gives us holiday cheer as well as murder and mystery.
Satisfying wrap up while still keeping me interested in what will happen next.

Excellent Story

another good book in the series of Gooseberry Bay by the author. you need to read this series from beginning to end, otherwise you won't understand it. Basically Ainsley is searching for answers as to why she ended up in Gooseberry Bay years ago when she was a little girl with her sister, but was not with her parents, she was with 2 other ladies that was a blurr to her memory, and while she is searching for her own clues, she after years of training with her adoptive dad, a police officer and detective, opened up a detective agency in Gooseberry. So while she helps others and to earn a living? She is still searching for herself.

wonderful Christmas cozy mystery

Santa Who? is the eighth book in the wonderful Cottage on Gooseberry Bay cozy mystery series by Kathi Daley. This story takes place in the charming town of Gooseberry Bay, Washington. Ainsley and friends work together to discover the identity of an amnesiac Santa and to identify a killer, along with uncovering even more answers to the mystery of Ainsley’s past. As always, Mrs. Daley’s writing flows smoothly, and her setting and relatable characters make for an extremely enjoyable and quick read.

Ainsley is involved in three different cases in this story - finding her sister, finding a lost necklace and identifying a killer and the identity of a Santa with amnesia. Interestingly, there are ties between some of these cases that lead her to new information on her sister. Of course, nothing is finished, so we're left eagerly awaiting the next book in the series.

Great story. Always mysteries on Gooseberry Bay, but always solved along the way.

This was a great book with Gooseberry Bay characters along with new characters that come to town. The main character (Ainsley) and her friends get involved with a murder while solving other issues and discovering new leads to Ainsley's past. This is a great read that keeps you involved beginning to end.

Ainsley is making progress

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2021

Although Remington's role is sort of confusing, it was so refreshing that Ainsley is making great progress in finding her sister. There is a murder mystery, too, that is solved in the book. Looking forward to the next book when, hopefully, Ainsley will actually meet Avery.

A murder is Santa involved?

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2021

It seems that poor Ainsley’s life is always going to be full of mystery. Once again she is trying to find her sister. Things get more confusing when she finds a man in a Santa suit that doesn’t know who he is. I loved this book but now I can’t wait for the next one.

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2021

But I’m as anxious as Ainsley is, waiting to find out what happens! With cliff- hanger series like these, I almost wish I’d waited to discover Gooseberry Bay until all the books were written! Have really enjoyed them all completely! C’mon April!!!!

Great cozy mystery series...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 17, 2021

Verified Purchase

I do love these cozy mysteries, these ones set in Gooseberry Bay with Ainsley and her friends.

When Ainsley finds Santa on a bench, seemingly unaware where he is, or who he is, she takes him in hand, what she doesn't know is where it will lead!

I really enjoy these books, they are best read in order of publication to preserve continuity of the characters and series.

I cannot wait for the next book to be released now.....

Random coincidences

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 15, 2021

Ainsley comes across several random coincidences in her continuing search for her sister. She also helps solve a murder, locates a missing heirloom and helps an amnesiac Santa, with help from the gang. Entertaining.
