Murder is Always Spooky
Merry’s best friend, Vicky Casey, has been working on a cookbook for the last couple of entries in this series, and it is finally coming out. But the night before the official book launch, the annual fundraiser for the local hospital is happening. It’s a big gala at the Yuletide Inn, and everyone is there, including people from out of town. One of those out-of-town guests is Cynthia, an online reviewer (those evil people!) who has panned Vicky’s new book. As the evening is winding down, Cynthia falls over and then dies on the way to the hospital. If Cynthia didn’t die of natural causes, what happened to her?

I debated about continuing the series before ultimately deciding to continue via the library. Sadly, I once again found it average. The pacing was off, especially in the middle when some subplots took over. While I like the series regulars, I want to see some character growth. I feel like things are staying too much the same. While I wasn’t bothered by the fact that the cozy Christmas vibes weren’t as plentiful due to it being a Halloween set book, I didn’t like the paranormal element the book introduced, especially since the book relied on it too much. We do have three delicious sounding recipes at the end. I’m debating if I want to read any more books in this series.
