I was so excited when I found out there would be a new Sadie Hoffmiller book. I absolutely love this series and it felt like going home to visit an old friend.

Once again we find Sadie being Sadie, involved with helping others and trying her best to make everything perfect for family and friends. Of course, you can tell that this story takes place at Christmas time. I simply loved all of the recipes in this book and can't wait to try several of them. A few days before Christmas Sadie finds herself deep in another mystery waiting to be solved. It was fun to be immersed once again in Sadie's world of spying, snooping, and doing undercover work. She definitely has a way about how she investigates a mystery. There's also a sweet feeling in this book as she is helping her elderly neighbor who is sick and dying. Sadie helps make things better for Mary and in the long run, learns some important lessons of her own. I highly recommend this novel to all of my fellow Sadie Hoffmiller fans and those who like to read culinary mysteries. This book, of course, could be read on its own but I can't help saying...PLEASE go back and read all of this series. I have loved it and it was so delightful to once again be solving a mystery alongside the fun-loving Sadie.
