There are a plethora of mystery tales set during the winter holiday season but not many for Thanksgiving. The stories in this collection are a mixed bag quality-wise and favor humor over any real criminal mischief. It was an agreeably decent read for Thanksgiving weekend, enough so that I will probably tackle the subsequent volumes for future late November reading.

*Book source ~ A review copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.

This collection of nine wacky and wonderful Thanksgiving mysteries is well-written and entertaining. Some I like better than others and a few are downright weird, but I think there’s something for everyone here.

Biscuits, Carats, and Gravy by Barb Goffman ~ Sneaky, but not sneaky enough.
How to Sweeten a Mother-in-Law by Stephanie Beck ~ I love this!
Turkey Cull by Laird Long ~ This is a bit weird.
A Mobster’s Guide to Cranberry Sauce by Beth Mathison ~ An inside look at a mobster family Thanksgiving. lol
The Thanksgiving Cookoff War by Earl Staggs ~ Love this one, too.
Who Snuffed the Turkey? by Lance Zarimba ~ Hahahaha
Murder with All the Trimmings by Lesley A. Diehl ~ Another favorite.
Ambrosia by Jack Gates ~ Ooooh…this was a good whodunit.
Last Licks by Kathleen Gerard ~ This wins Weirdest prize.
