Deck the halls. . .with a personal chef, a snowed-in lodge, and a sprinkling of murder!

“Watch the knives!”

While acting as personal chef for a friend’s mountain retreat, Violet and her husband, Jake, must set aside their stress over infertility and create a magical and delicious holiday – until tragedy crashes the party.

Being snowed in and unreachable from town, Violet and Jake end up hired for a different kind of job – finding out which of the guests committed murder and why they’re trying to frame their hostess.

Violet must find a balance between following her gut and keeping it all under control until the police can reach them, while still managing the kitchen. But can she sniff out the killer before anyone else bites the big one?

A Caterer’s Guide to Holidays and Homicide will give you a culinary holiday you won’t forget!

Dru’s Short Musing:
The author did a great job in presenting the second book in the series. I love the comfortable tone and the writing style that made it easy to follow along with what the author intended. Good character development, a complex mystery that kept me engrossed in all facets, and a fast-paced read that was cleverly done. With visually descriptive narrative and engaging dialogue, I felt like I was part of the action alongside Violet and Jake. This was a fun book that combines cooking and murder which blends in nicely in the telling of this tale. Hope there are more adventures forthcoming with this mighty duo.

FTC Full Disclosure – I received a digital ARC of this book from the author.
