Proof In The Pudding (Bluebell Cafe #6), by Judith Jackson

 


This was a reasonable quick, fun read. I mean, it opened with a seemingly drunk, cranky Santa chasing down a kid for swiping some candy canes. Not long afterward, while walking in the park with husband Nick, main character Harriet, well, her dog Chester, finds that same Santa dead. The plot centers around Harriet and her best friend Claire trying to figure out who killed Santa. 

While I've grown a bit tired of the not-so-bright detective character use, the characters were likable and could be real people. Heck, even the detective is shown to be more than stubborn and unwilling to listen by the time the book ends, a plus. So, a fun read, interesting characters, and lots of cats and dogs. And, oh, yummy sounding recipes at the end. All in all, a satisfying holiday read.
