Description
At an office holiday party in Bar Harbor, Maine, the guests may be mingling with a murderer: "A likable heroine that readers will cheer for." —Parkersburg News and Sentinel

Who better than food and cocktails columnist Hayley Powell to book a caterer for the Island Times holiday party? But Hayley's quest for a cook turns into the pursuit of a killer who caters to no one . . .

Office Christmas parties can sometimes mean career suicide—but they rarely lead to murder. Hayley thought Garth Rawlings would be the perfect caterer for this year's bash, but when the gourmet sees her budget, he goes galloping.

Unfortunately his run is short-lived. Garth is found dead on the floor of his kitchen, with his delectable creations burning in the oven. Faced with a spread of suspects, Hayley is determined to discover who would want to take out the Christmas caterer, because—no matter what the season—justice must be served . . .

Includes seven delectable recipes from Hayley's kitchen!

        October 15, 2014

        The Christmas season in Bar Harbor, ME, has Hayley Powell, office manager and food columnist at the Island Times newspaper, making her fifth appearance in the cozy culinary mystery series (Death of a Chocoholic). Hayley is busy holiday shopping for her teenage kids, trying to figure out her love life, and using her ex-husband's exploits as fodder for her column. Agreeing to help a local caterer in order to earn some extra money, Hayley is shocked to find him dead in his kitchen, which means it's time for some amateur sleuthing. VERDICT A fun Christmas cozy that includes food and cocktail recipes from the brother-and-sister team who write together under the pen name Hollis.
