review 1: As I was leaving the library a couple of weeks ago, I saw this book with a display of Christmas themed books. I had just read Mulled Murder and really liked it. I've read a few others in the series, but missed this one from last year. They are a quick read with a predictable ending, but with a few surprises. The Pennyfoot's housekeeper, Mrs. Chubb, is called away when her daughter becomes ill. Cecily hires a temporary worker who is very disagreeable. Then one of the guests, an actor, is found dead in his room. It is, of course, murder. Then the fun begins..... This is a pre-WWI series with an interesting cast of characters. The author ended the series with Mulled Murder. I haven't read them all, but will probably get around to reading some of the older ones next year. For ... moreme, this is a series that doesn't disappoint.
review 2: I really like this series, but I am getting a bit tired of the 'murder-at-Christmas curse' theme. I think also in this book that the character of Baxter is developing a bit too much of the 'curmudgeonly' attitude; in fact, someone reading just this book would question why Cecily would even marry someone like him. All that being said, however, it is still a good series and I will continue to read it. less
