This was a fun holiday Who Done It novella in the Italian Kitchen mystery series. I enjoyed reading about the Italian holiday traditions at the Casa Lido restaurant - including recipes. This novella was a quick read, but the mystery wasn't predictable and it was engaging. I recommend it to all cozy mystery fans.

This is a quick, light mystery that is written through a seven-course dinner on Christmas Eve. Perfect for when your pressed for time and need your reading fix. Victoria and her sister secretly go sleuthing to find out who has it in for the Mayor. I haven't read any others in this series, but I plan to. The recipes alone will leave you hungry for more.

A enjoyable Xmas time read. This is a short novella however very well done. This is not a murder mystery but a story centered around a intriguing mystery. , I love this series and enjoyed reading about the rich Xmas traditions of a Italian family. The Xmas dinner is a delight to savor. Well Done.
