Grab Murder Under The Mistletoe (Bite-sized Bakery, #5) Articulated By Rosie A. Point Viewable As Hardcover
book is the last one that is placed in Carmel Springs, I am going to miss all the characters from the first part of this Cozy Mystery Series, Looking forward to more Bee and Ruby though!
The Mayor is murder, there are hardly any clues to find the killer, but this doesn't deter Ruby and Bee.
They are ruthless and get into trouble as usual,
A really enjoyable read, looking forward to their next adventure! Ruby and Bea are set to move on after Christmas and want to host a blowout farewell party.
When the mayor turns up under the town tree and his wife is arrested, the pair snoop to find out who the real kiler is.
Ruby needs to save herself with Beas help, I received an ARC to peruse and offer my opinion freely, A light quick read
The clock is ticking on Ruby's and Bee's stay in Carmel Springs, and homicide shows up for the holidays! The murderer and motive are believable, although the climactic takedown is a bit much in light of how angsty and diffident Ruby is this time.
Now that the duo's time in Maine has come to an end it should be interesting to see what Muffin has to offer! Delightful Short Mystery
This is a fast read, with great characters we have gotten comfortable around.
I was slightly confused by the final explanation about what happened, but over all I enjoyed this book and gladly recommend it.
What a sweet little Christmas celebration in Carmel Springs, although it was interrupted with murder first, It'll come as no surprise if a person has followed the books that Bee and Ruby's time in Carmel Springs was coming to an end, and they planned an awesome Christmas party to thank their new friends.
Ruby hadn't counted on nearly being killed there though, But it all ended great, and Det, Martin being very unlike his predecessor was happy when the bakers solved this murder,
I had my thoughts about who the killer was but not the reasoning, The ending was a little sad when our baker friends had to leave their temporary town, but they knew they'd have some fun new adventures coming up.
Ruby and Bee decide to spend Christmas in Carmel Springs because of the warm atmosphere and friends they have made during their stay.
They plan a party, however, a murder threatens to cancel all celebrations, They must weed through suspects and clues to save the towns Christmas, Although I will miss Carmel Springs, I will continue to follow this enjoyable series,

Picked up on KU for its Christmas theme, This was a pretty good short cozy mystery, The characters were engaging and suitably numerous with plenty of suspects and a decent little twist, The plot wasn't overly complex but kept me interested,
This is the first book I've read in the series or by the author for that matter and it did make me want to go and check out the rest.
There were two things though that I didn't like so much, For one, the editing could have been better, And two and this one's the biggie for me, the author gave away the "whodunnit" of one of her previous books.
I don't mind books referencing previous events, but it should never be your killer, just in case a reader is picking up the books out of order.
For that reason, I'm going to say that while this is technically a standalone story, you should probably read the others first if you don't want any spoilers.
Available on KU at time of review, It's going to be a killer Christmas, . .

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book from Booksprout, I enjoyed this story. The narrative trapped me into this story, The characters were fun and felt very real, I liked the mystery and the chemistry between the friends,

I look forward to what comes next, . .
