“It’s Christmastime in Lancaster, Maine, and it’s an occasion for carols, ornaments,
and . . . poison? When a well-known food critic visits Tea for Two and becomes
ill, Jan and Elaine set out to learn what put her there. Has someone tampered
with their teas? And if so, who and why? With the critic in the hospital and
the tearoom closed for a toxicology screening, the cousins have much riding on
their investigation! Meanwhile, Elaine tries not to be envious that Jan’s
children will be with her for the holiday and hers will not. They each look for
the perfect gift for the other, but their searches hit a disappointing—and
seemingly insurmountable—obstacle. Can they find just the right gift in time
for Christmas?”

My
personal Rating- 
This was a cute story with a
lighter mystery. For some reason, I think this was the book I’ve enjoyed the
most thus far from this series. I thought the surprise at the end was really
sweet and the book had a good Christmas-y style to it.
See y’all on Friday with a new
review!
