#MarchMunchies #Puddings "...Pru inhaled deeply and spread her Waitrose goods out on the table--all the ingredients for Christmas pudding, that dense, intensely spiced, steamed cake she knew would cinch their family holiday." Pru, the 50-something MC of this cozy mystery series is an expert gardener & not bad at solving mysteries, but isn't much of a cook. Luckily she gets some help with the pudding in this book & with cooking lessons later on.

Mehso-so

This book was a good mystery with a few bodies turning up but since it was the 4th in the series I didn't feel for the characters like I would have if I had followed them from the beginning. Cute, slow to start, pretty good plot.
