Book Reviews of A Catered Christmas (Mystery with Recipes, No. 3)
Book Review: Fair to middling
Summary: 3 Stars
I picked this up because I'm a sucker for Christmas books, particulary mysteries. And I liked the catering angle. Overall, it was a decent book, but the Christmas angle was definitely beside the point. It could have easily have been set at any time of year, as the murder itself had nothing to do with Christmas.
I also found it very confusing -- Apparently, this is the third book in the series, but there was virtually no backstory provided on any of the main characters. As a result, it took me several chapters to get everyone sorted out.
Another element that bothered me was the fact that every suspect seemed to be in on knowledge that "everyone knows about" EXCEPT our sleuths. That was really confusing. If the food biz is such a small world, wouldn't they know what was going on, too?
Anyway, a quick read, and fun. But I probably won't pick up another one from the series anytime soon.
