Helpful Score: 9

I really wish that the cozy writers would get away from the tired 'cop as love interest' story element. Other than that, I really enjoyed this 1st novel. Sophie was a likable character and her rival Natasha is just nice enough that you don't totally hate her. LOL

I finished this book hungry! There is a plethora of eating in this story. I can't imagine how they aren't all big as houses at this point.

The story occurs over the Thanksgiving holiday and includes a stuffing baking contest that both Sophie & Natasha are contestants in. The extended cast includes Sophie's ex, his family, and Sophie's family and neighbors. They are all a little bit kooky and there may or may not be a resident ghost. And to keep the animal lovers interested, there is both a dog and a cat in residence. :O)
