December 16 – My Reading Journeys
About by the book Set against the holiday cheer of twinkling lights, costumed carolers, and a festive line of extravagantly decorated boats participating in the annual Christmas boat parade in Newport Beach, California, cupcake caterer Emory Martinez finds that the grinch has crashed the party. Together with her sister Carrie, Emory is catering a delectable feast of holiday cupcakes and cookies aboard a luxury yacht for the new Mrs. Blair Villman and her guests.
Sparks fly when Carrie comes face-to-face with the hostess, who just happens to be Carrie’s high school frenemy, and old grievances are dredged up. Adding fuel to the fire, Blair’s stepson brings his mother, the former Mrs. Villman, to the party. Instead of celebrating holiday cheer, someone seems intent on channeling the Burgermeister Meisterburger and shutting down Blair’s party permanently. When Emory finds a body aboard the yacht, she needs to discover who iced the victim before the Scrooge ruins not only her livelihood but her freedom as well.
Includes delicious holiday recipes.
And I thought
A yummy Cozy Series that I really enjoy more and morewith each new book.
I began the series with book 1 and fell in love with Emory. She's has her ups and downs in each book what with always being involved murder.
But she is growing as a sleuth.
There are several characters in the permanent cast including Emory's sister Carrie who kind of seems to always be the one who puts Emory into the wrong place where a murder just happens.
I liked the Christmas setting and the nautical theme/location.
Author Kim Davis is expertly describes the scenes making you feel like you are apart if what is going on.
As always I find putting books in this series down. I am kept turning the pages in desperation wanting to get to the end.
And then there's the let down when the story ends and I just can't wait for the next one.
With Emory and Carrie meeting thier sister I was literally wondering if she'll be dragging Emory into sleuthing!
I always enjoy the covers and the recipes!
This is fun series that is sure to please with each book written as a stand alone.
If your new to the series you might enjoy the series best by reading in order and meeting each of the characters and thier relationships with each other as the series develop.
I received a complimentary copy.
