Synopsis

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 . . .

Bonus material: This audiobook includes a PDF of recipes.

Goodreads review by Doward

Hilarity and reality all wrapped up together! No better way to describe this series. Hayley is tongue-in-cheek funny as a working mom with two kids who writes for the local newspaper, but also so very real in regards to her relationship with her kids. The cast and setting are great and this was one......more
