A novella set in Idaho' Sun Valley at New Years. The Country Kitchen is catering a private party at a ski lodge in the Valley. All is fine until one of band members is found injured in the dinning . The sheriff is called and he oversees the victim taken the hospital. Before he can set up to find the prep, he receives word that a child is missing and they need to find her before snowstorm arrives. He leaves the ski lodge and Angie and Felicia are left in charge. As all are concerned about a killer in their most Angie begins to explore the situation. Will Angie find the killer before the sheriff returns? I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK AND SERIES.

The County Line crew is catering a private party for a Rock Band. While Felicia grew up with the rocker who owns the house, Angie can’t bring herself to trust him or anyone in the party when another member of the band is murdered.

A short novella to tide me over until the next entry in the series. Always welcome when you’re stalking the author’s page to see when the next full length book is going to be released. Love all of Lynn Cahoon’s series, she is a talented writer.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing Corporation for a copy of this novella in exchange for an honest review.

In this Farm-to-Fork Novella, Lynn Cahoon has once again brought together our favourite characters from Angie Turner’s County Seat restaurant. When her business partner Felicia Williams accepts a catering job for an old friend – Cliff Henry – lead singer of the Postal Mutiny band, little do they know that they will be in for a New Year’s Eve that they will not soon forget.

Travelling with Angie and Felicia are Hope, Estebe, Matt and Angie’s dog Dom. The deal they made was to cater one dinner party and they could spend a week at Cliff’s luxurious home which they planned to use as a retreat to brainstorm ideas for the winter menu at the County Seat. Missing for the most part from this adventure is Ian McNeal, Angie’s boyfriend who stayed behind at the farmhouse to take care of Precious the goat and Mabel the black & white hen. Ian is the nephew of River Vista Sheriff Allen Brown who is well acquainted with Angie and her ability to attract murders.

When the dinner falls apart into a shouting match and everyone heads off to their rooms, little does the group realize that soon they will be investigating another murder. All the dinner guests have left except for Cliff, Bailey, Dane, Suzie, Steve, Carolyn and Robbie. Who gets killed and what is the motive? Could a tell-all book be at the heart of things? At one point the County Seat bunch wonder if they are stranded by a blizzard in a house with a serial killer.

A great end to this novella is Hope’s idea to do a Vision Board for the New Year, to illustrate their hopes and dreams for the coming year. Angie realizes that she already has everything she could ever hope for or dream of – “friends, family, career and a home.”

As a reader, another in the Farm-to-Fork series would be a wonderful addition to the New Year as well!

I enjoyed this short story. It was the perfect length. It's fast-paced and the crew is all there cooking up good food to a rock band reuniting at a retreat. Until something goes wrong and one of the band members is murdered with a drumstick. They sent to sleuthing since they're snowed in and just an the last minute are able to get a confession from the killer with nifty questioning. #HaveADeadlyNewYear #NetGalley
