This trio of short stories was a delightful read. I've always enjoyed these three author's cozies, and this was a bonus of three in one. The Christmas plots are perfectly timed and offer a pleasurable preholiday read.

Yule Log Murder brings three of my favorite authors together again for another holiday trilogy of Maine Christmas novellas, and I couldn't be happier!

Yule Log Murder by Leslie Meier is the first story in the book, and Lucy Stone has her hands full when Toby, Molly, and Patrick surprise the family for a Christmas visit, but she's too busy to spend much time with them because she's (of course!!!) investigating a suspicious death that occurred at the estate formerly owned by the late, and very wealthy, Vivian Van Vorst, and her friend Phyllis's niece is the prime suspect!

Lee Hollis' Death by Yule Log finds Hayley and family missing Dustin at Christmas after he's snowed in at his dad's house, but with the arrival of Gemma and her boyfriend (who may or may not be a serial killer), Hayley's quickly distracted. Add in the discovery of a local bad boy murdered outside of Liddy's house, and her blossoming romance with (who'd have thunk it???) Bruce Linney, and Hayley's up to her meringue mushrooms in trouble!

The final story, Barbara Ross' Logged On, focuses on Julia's quest to make a perfect Buche de Noel for the holidays so that she can impress her boyfriend Chris' family when they arrive for a visit. The trouble is she needs help from the scary woman next door, Odile St. Onge, whom Julia suspects may have poisoned several relatives, to master the task!

These three stories are the perfect combination of cozy and murder, all with yummy holiday recipes, and each one is a great addition to the authors' series. A+++

I thoroughly enjoyed the plot, atmosphere, and characters. I would recommend the book to friends and family for their reading pleasure.

Another great book in the Lucy Stone series. I enjoyed this book as I well as all of the books with Lucy Stone. I received an advance reader copy of this book which has no bearing on my review of this book. I highly recommend that you read this book especially if you are a fan of Lucy Stone.

For some reason, I didn't realize this was a collection but I enjoyed all of the stories. It was a good day for a holiday themed, sweet, cozy mystery with plenty of whodunit and laughs along the way.

The three stories in this book were just so-so. I liked the Leslie Meier one the best, but felt like there really wasn’t much of a mystery. I don’t know what a Yule Log is, but I don’t think I’ll eat one this holiday season.

What a pleasure it was to spend time with some of my favorite friends in Yule Log Murder.
Each story was well told and had plenty of excitement and holiday cheer.
I don't want to choose a favorite story as each of these authors are on my top 10 favorite list.

Lucy Stone has been a long time favorite character and I never tire of reading about her and the family.
Lucy gets involved in another murder investigation and at the same time is dealing with some challenging family issues.

Haley Powell is back writing her food column and struggling with having adult children. This was a quick, fun mystery that kept me quickly turning the pages.

Julia Snowden returns in a fun cozy story, that really kept me guessing. I was honestly not expecting things to turn out as they did, so it was a great ending to the story.

I recommend this to cozy mystery fans. I will probably read this book again at the holidays.

I volunteered to read and review an ARC of this book provided by the publisher and NetGalley.
