Another installment of Tita Rosie’s Kitchen Mystery’s. I found this one to be as fun and cozy as the previous ones. This one was centered around Christmas but it didn’t feel like that was the main focus and felt more like a winter book. It did focus on people from out of town and I would have loved more character development from the characters previously introduced. The descriptions of good always make my mouth water and love the recipes at the end of the book. This definitely gives hallmark vibes.
