Maybe these books need to be read in order and I read it for a book club.  I felt like I was missing something when various characters had emotional reactions that didn't make sense based on the limited information given about them.  I found out the characters all carry on their relationships from previous books.  I also felt the story didn't really move well.  Sort of like jumping into the middle of a soap opera that happened to have a murder.

This one had lots of recipes which was fun and the whole concept of everyone being stranded in a blizzard with a killer was interesting.

Super cutesy. Nice relaxing cozy mystery. Tons of recipes.

Very little actually happens story-wise.
There wasn't even a real murder! It was "self defense", which is a very disappointing ending for a murder mystery.
Bad ending, and it's somehow both too short and much too long. The cops in this town are apparently terrible at their jobs.
