Title: Death by Yule Log
Author: Lee Hollis
Publisher: Kensington
Series: Hayley Powell Food & Cocktails Mystery #10.5
Format: e-book (Personal Purchase)
Description:
Christmases in coastal Maine can seem picture perfect—until murder ruins the scenery . . .
Haley Powell’s holidays aren’t off to a very merry start. Not only has her daughter brought Conner-an infuriatingly perfect new beau-home to Bar Harbor, but a local troublemaker has been found dead with traces of her signature Yule log cake on his body. As Conner becomes the prime suspect, Hayley must put aside her mixed feelings to identify the real killjoy.
My Thoughts:
This book follows Hayley as she is getting ready for the holidays but not everything is working out the way Hayley wants it to. First her son won't be there for the holidays due to weather, then her daughter has brought a boyfriend Connor home which Hayley has alot of trouble with. When a local bad boy is found dead and all fingers point at Connor Hayley finds it difficult to solve the murder due to Connor being on the hook for the crime.
I love this series but felt Hayley was suffocating her daughter and her boyfriend. Seemed a little out of character for what we know about Hayley. Otherwise an overall great little mystery Hayley just needs to learn to let go of her children.
