Helpful Score: 1

This installment of the Cackleberry Club was okay. I loved the setting of winter with the Fire and Ice Festival and as always, what takes place in the restaurant wants me to have one of my own.

The mystery itself is pretty good. There are a lot of questions, suspects and motives running around. But there are a couple of subplots that make no sense whatsoever and seemed more like fillers.

The ending was sudden, short and poorly written. It was as if Childs handed the story over to a high schooler and said, "Hey, finish this for me, would ya? I got better things to do!" And the exclamation points! Seriously? Someone drives up in a car and it merits exciting punctuation?!!

I loved this series, but either Childs has too much on her plate writing several series at once, or she's bored and just writing to fullfill a contract obligation.
