Book #2 in the Undercover Dish Mystery series:

Caterer and cook Lilah Drake is up to her elbows in deadly trouble in the latest mystery from the author of The Big Chili...

The Christmas holidays are one of Lilah's favorite times of the year, filled with friends, family, and, of course, tons of food orders for her covered dish clients. But Lilah's Yuletide cheer ends when she sees a most Grinch-like crime: the murder of a Santa in a school parking lot.

It turns out the deceased Kris Kringle was a complicated tangle of naughty and nice, with a long list of people who might have wanted him dead. And whoever did the deed wants to make sure that Lilah keeps quiet. Now, Lilah will have to team up with her former fling, Detective Jay Parker, to unwrap the mysteries of a deadly Christmas killer and stay alive long enough to ring in the New Year...

My Review: Another fabulous book in the Undercover Dish mystery series. Lilah is a great main character. Her love life isn't so great since she had a disagreement with Detective Jay Parker. We'll see if they can get it together. I love Mick, the sweet chocolate lab who belongs to Lilah. Julia Buckley has become one of my favorite cozy mystery authors.

I love Lilah. She is smart, funny and is an undercover cook. I would hire her. lol. Anyway, this recipe for a good mystery is all here: strong Lilah, good plot with lots of twists and turns, along with a touch of romance.
