This charming British series takes place in 1914. I must say this is one of the coziest of the many Christmas cozies that have been published. So get ye some figgy pudding, a Christmas cracker and enjoy.

There are quite a few culinary mystery series, but the exploits of caterer sleuth Goldy Bear Schulz are by far my favorites.

Come on — you knew someone was going to make a Viagra Falls joke. This is number 24 in this madcap, fun series.

A very well-received book despite its screwball plot.
