’Tis the season to be sleuthing—as two sisters try to solve a crime at a cooking show.
 
Picturesque Longley, New York, is ringing in the holiday season, but visions of sugar plums are not dancing in Libby Simmons’s head—especially since she and her sister Bernie are set to appear on the Hortense Calabash Cooking Show. The premise is to give six professional caterers random ingredients and have them whip up a holiday meal. The icing on the fruitcake is that Hortense Calabash is a grinch of epic proportions. And the other contestants are some of the most demanding—and difficult—chefs in the business.

Bernie and Libby are thrown into the mix as arguments and accusations simmer on the set. Then Hortense, all dressed up as Santa Claus for the opening sequence, is killed by an exploding oven. With the holiday rush in full swing and a killer still on the loose, Bernie and Libby have no choice but to wrap up the mystery before their geese are well and fully cooked…

Includes scrumptious holiday recipes for you to try!

5.0 out of 5 stars Third time's the charm!

Now this book is what I was hoping from the last two. It had everything I think the first two lacked. It is a vast improvement over the first two and probably due to, among other things, that it wasn't really short in length. It was just the right length to be able to expand on a plot properly, I think. The story was a much better planned idea and more well carried out this time. I won't bore you with a plot summary as I know other reviewers are fond of doing that. I appreciate that this book has chapter demarcations. Chapter demarcations make it so much easier to see how close you are to the end of a chapter or to find a stopping place when you need to do so. There were a few misspellings in the book, but nothing very out of place. If you got through the first two, I think you really must read this one. It's very worth it, I think. I can't wait to read the next one and I'm hoping it's even better. Have at it with this one because this time I don't think you'll be disappointed.

This story did not play out as I had expected it to. But it made for a nice change. I love getting the recipes at the end and the story's end was a nice surprise.

I enjoyed A Catered Christmas very much. I would like to read more of Isis Campbell's work and will be watching for it to be released on Kindle.

It was written with a constantly changing Point of View so that you know how everyone is interacting and how they feel about each other. It sounds like it would be very confusing, but it was actually very easy to follow, and added quite a bit to the whole story.

Lots of twists and turns. Excellent read. If you like cozies, I believe you will like this book. I'm looking forward to more from Isis Crawford.

4.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed this book
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2018
I enjoyed this book. It was an easy read. Bernie and Libby are sisters who have a shop selling delicious foods. They get talked into doing a cooking contest show. While they are doing the show with other chefs the feuding and difference of opinions start. That leads to murders and now the girls have the job of finding who the murderer is while trying to do the show along with all the other holidays jobs they have.

I couldn't wait to finish this book. I'm the kind of person who almost always finishes a book once started no matter how bad it is. The bickering between the sisters and Sean's constant complaining about Marvin's driving was silly. The "accidents" during the cooking show were too far fetched. There was too much swearing. I had read a couple of books in this series a while ago and had forgotten about the language. I will not be reading any more of this author.
