The main character doesn't even question a haunting from her father? What is going on with this woman.
This is neither a great mystery nor a great cookbook.

It took a surprisingly long time to get to the actual murder, and I'm not quite sure there was much detective work actually done. The characters were shallow, and I would emphatically recommend not starting with this one, because it operates under the assumption that you've read the other 19 and little in the way of character development or explanation is provided herein.
A quick vapid read, that I guess got me in the spirit of Christmas?
This series was great in the beginning. Now it reads like a primer for kids with food thrown in every other conversation. The plot is an afterthought. It's so disappointing. I used to love this series. Skip this one, it's horrid.
