A really good cosy mystery series that I am really enjoying. Looking forward to the next book and more from Sam (Miss Marple) 📖📖

Samantha Barnes has no time to get involved in a murder investigation, but with a title like An Eggnog to Die For, we all know what's going to happen.
Holiday festivities and being a food critic are keeping Samantha busy, and of course everyone has to give her their own Eggnog secrets.
I love Christmas mysteries and this one is really good.

I think I liked the second book in this series even more than the first! Samantha is a clever heroine, and the author has given her a nice, casual tone as the narrator. I have a quibble with the way the librarian and her staff member reveal information, but that will probably not bother non-librarian readers. The descriptions of food in this one will make you hungry, and the author has made it seem accessible. A good community rounds this out well.

This is hands down one of the best cozy mysteries I have ever read.
Amy Pershing delivers not only a well written book but also an engaging one that is definitely a page turner. Her characters ring true and are multi-faceted, the mystery is complex and fascinating, and the detail with which she describes her settings make the book come alive.
I haven't read the first book in the series - and look forward to doing so - but this one doesn't leave you feeling that you're missing something that went before. It easily stands alone while making you want to go back and read the first book.
I am grateful to have been given the opportunity to read and review this through NetGalley.
