Book Review: Christmas Al Dente by Jennifer L. Hart

'Tis the season for pasta and mayhem.

Andy Buckland is determined that nothing will interrupt her first Christmas with Malcolm Jones and her last holiday spent in her childhood home. When the family recipe book disappears from the Bowtie Angel, and Aunt Cecily threatens to put "The Eye" on the entire population of Beaverton if it isn't returned, Andy and Jones decide to put the eggnog on hold for a little old fashioned sleuthing. But as one secret leads to another, and rumors are served up along with hot buttered penne, Andy can't shake the suspicion that her life is about to change forever.[summary via Publisher]

It's July but that doesn't mean we can't get into the festive mood. With Jennifer L. Hart's latest book in the Southern Pasta Shop Mysteries readers can get into the festive spirit with a great mystery.

It's Christmas time and Andy and her family are busy gearing up for the festive season. Andy is busy trying to arrange her holidays, hopefully without Malcolm's evil half-sister, and things get thrown into turmoil when the family recipe book goes missing!

I loved visiting with Andy, Malcolm and the feisty Aunt Cecily. I've enjoyed both of the books in this series, and it was fun to visit with them during the holiday season.

Jennifer L. Hart hits all the right festive notes with this one, giving the reader a delightful story, a mystery without a dead body!, and leaving readers of the series wanting more! After all if a series is a favorite, like this one is to me, of course you're going to want more!

Another great story and I can't wait to see what Jennifer has in store for these characters next!
