Deck the halls…with a personal chef, a snowed-in lodge, and a sprinkling of murder!
“Watch the knives!”
While acting as personal chef for a friend’s mountain retreat, Violet and her husband, Jake, must set aside their stress over infertility and create a magical and delicious holiday – until tragedy crashes the party.
Being snowed in and unreachable from town, Violet and Jake end up hired for a different kind of job – finding out which of the guests committed murder and why they’re trying to frame their hostess.
Violet must find a balance until the police can reach them. But can she sniff out the killer before anyone else bites the big one?
A Caterer’s Guide to Holidays and Homicide will give you a culinary holiday to celebrate!

The main character, Violet, and her husband, Jake, are very charming sleuths. The author has created several twists and turns. I thought I had it figured out, but I didn’t! And those recipes are a delicious bonus!

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2023
I’m a sucker for the ‘snowed in’ trope; especially when there’s a cabin and a murder. I read it in one sitting and really enjoyed it. it’s a great recommendation for clean reads for teens.

What could possibly happen when a group of frenemies get together in a snow bound cabin? Murder of course. Only the caterer and her husband are available to follow the disjointed clues.

The recipes and the murder’s thoughts keep everyone guessing “who done it.”

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious cozy culinary mystery
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2021
Jessica Thompson has upped her game and this sequel is even better than the first in the series. This time we have a really fun locked-room mystery. Everyone is snowed in for what should have been a cozy holiday retreat, but tensions run high once the characters realize the accidental death of one person was actually a murder. It's up to Violet, the caterer, to figure out whodunit while dishing up some delicious recipes along the way. It was fun to work through the twists and turns of the case with Violet, and the ending was surprising and satisfying. Recipes for the delicious sounding food are included so you can bake along at home. I'm looking forward to trying the (naturally gluten-free) Sour Cream Quiche! Highly recommended for cozy mystery lovers and foodies!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great culinary cozy mystery!
Reviewed in Canada on December 7, 2021

What a fun read! This culinary cozy does not disappoint. Murder is served along with many other delicious delicacies from cookies to creme brulee.

The story follows Jake and Violet, a catering couple hires to cook at the lodge of a friend's rich mother, hosting her longtime friend to their annual girl's week holiday. The snow has just started falling when the first body turns up, and by the time it is discovered they are all trapped in the lodge with the murderer as the blizzard rages. Soon the real story begins as the sordid history of the women comes to light, including affairs, financial scandals, and societal humiliations revealing motives for murder for almost everyone there.

Trapped with the killer, Jake and Violet are cooking up a plan to investigate the crime. As new information comes to light, it reveals that their theory of the crime is only half-baked and that the missing ingredient to solving the murders remains just out of reach. As another body is discovered, the social politeness falls away as everyone is quick to make their accusations of who the guilty party might be. 

The story has a satisfying ending. Enough of a twist (I did not figure out the killer) to be entertaining, but not so far-fetched that you are left frustrated by a lack of information or an implausible reveal.

The writing is clear and easy to read, with my favorite part being the author's skillful ability to weave the culinary theme into some of her metaphors and similies. The characters are well developed and the leads are likable and vulnerable enough that you find yourself rooting for their success. Plus, I now have a half-a-dozen new must-make recipes!

A great culinary cozy and highly recommended!

Really enjoyed reading this murder mystery.
If you are a foodie you can enjoy the recipes scattered throughout the book - not my thing, but sort of adds to the book
What starts off as a murder in a place where a group are completely cut off do to snow. Then moves to a second death and the cook working through so many possibilities to get to the answer
Looking forward to reading more of this series
