One of them can't cook, they're short a catering van, and the guest of honor at their first party is murdered.That would be bad enough, but then, Christy's cousin, Celia, becomes the prime suspect.Solving a murder is no easy task, but when drunken death threats, a dashing detective, and terrifying taxidermy are added into the mix, the case becomes almost impossible to crack. Who knew a small town like Fletcher Canyon could be filled with so much craziness?Will the disaster-prone duo find the real killer before Celia's reputation is destroyed, or will Celia end up in prison for murder? Find out in this quick comedy cozy!This novella is the first book in the Mom and Christy's Cozy Mysteries series, and is a complete mystery that you can read in an hour or two.

I really enjoyed this book! The characters were engaging & the plot was good. I appreciate authors that don't need to use sex or language to make a story interesting. I especially love the Mom!! I hope the daughter lightens up on herself in future books as dwelling on her flaws can get tedious for the reader, but I still found her to be a delightful balance for her mom. I'm looking forward to reading more of their adventures in catering & crime solving!

This is such a good mystery book and it makes me proud that Filipinos and a bit of the Filipino culture is mentioned in this story. I am a Filipina and I would say this is a masterpiece! Can't wait to read the next in the series!
