While I am giving this book 5 stars, it amazes me where Sophie has time to solve murders, run a business (although she wasn't doing any business in this book which brings up the point: where does she get her money to live) and entertain friends at the drop of a hat. People just show up around meal time and she get whip up a fabulous meal in no time. I guess it is the mystery and the enchantment of the series. Slightly better than average read with some embarrassing editing errors. Sophie's trying to get ready for Christmas when she finds a dead body. The author's trying to juggle a lot of balls in this book and mostly she succeeds but as is the way of these things, nothing really stands out and grabs the reader. Natalie is still a absurd pain-in-the-ass, Mars is still spending an inappropriate amount of time with Sophie (his ex-wife) – although there is a brief hint in this book that there might actually be a reason behind it. Sophie's trying to get to know a new man, Alex, and her ex-boyfriend Wolf shows back up in her life (although no explanation of his status is given - is he still taken?). On top of all of this is the murder mystery which is overly complicated with a mystery inside the mystery. We have a victim by page 4, but that victim is sort of a red herring - there's a body yet to be found. The murderer was very well hidden in plain sight - I didn't have a clue until the very end but I don't know how much of that is clever plotting and how much is just a result of obfuscation. Something like this can end up being a hot mess but mostly the story worked. It didn't shine, but it worked. I enjoyed the read and the back of the book has a heap of christmas cookie recipes - some of them interesting enough that I might give them a go. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Domestic Diva (8)
"The holidays are domestic diva Sophie Winston's favorite time of year. But this season, there seem to be more mishaps than mistletoe. First, Horace Scroggins tumbles from a balcony during his office Christmas party. Then, Sophie's neighbor takes a fall from his ladder while decorating his roof with lights. But it's the cookie swap that really starts her wondering who's naughty or nice...Sophie arrives at the annual event with high spirits and thirteen dozen chocolate-drizzled gingersnaps. But when an argument erupts and a murder ensues, it becomes clear that the recent string of events is anything but accidental. Now Sophie has to make a list of suspects...and check it twice!"--back of cover. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The book is a full of holiday cheer and great sounding recipes even if it is a little light on the mystery. ( )
