Frosted Yuletide Murder

Emory Martinez and her minutes-older twin, Carrie Berger, have taken a catering gig for a holiday party. Things start out tense with the mystery client's staff, and the tension ramps up with they learn that the mystery client is their old high school nemesis, Blair. Blair was especially awful to Carrie, and her personality hasn't improved. She's mean to everybody. So when Emory and Carrie return the next morning to cater breakfast as part of their job, and find Blair has ceased to be, there's no shortage of suspects - including the sisters themselves.

This was a delightful cozy mystery! The characters, the twists and turns, the recipes at the end, all of it. As an adoptee who's recently found the paternal side of her family, I could really appreciate the storyline that had Emory and Carrie meeting their newly found sister, Vannie. It made me happy to see that circumstance portrayed so positively, and I can't wait to see more of all three sisters in future books in the series.

I didn't realize this was fourth in the series when I started reading. It read fine without me having read the other three, but I liked it so much, now I've got to go back and read them all!

I received an advance reader copy of the book through BookSirens. I am leaving this review voluntarily, and I don't say nice things about books I don't actually like.
