BOOK 95: A Catered Thanksgiving, by Isis Crawford


Rating: 3 stars

Cover synopsis: Bernie and Libby are catering Thanksgiving for the super-dysfunctional Field family. But the turkey goes goes boom right in Monty Field's face, sending him to that great dining room in the sky. Snowed in and with every member of the Field family harboring secrets, Bernie and Libby are going to have to convince the Fields that they aren't to blame -- and find out who really is, fast.

This was a fun little mystery. And I love anything that has to do with food. :)

The author did a good job of demonstrating everyone's motive for the murder, and she's very good at character development. Perhaps too good...it drove me crazy reading all the bickering and backstabbing dialogue among the Field family.
