Do you want to get in the holiday mood? This book is compilation of 3 novels, a Christmas recipe card with Candy cane bar cookies and ten Christmas recipes.Also, posts don my bookshelf by Joanna Fluke Id "Red Velvet Cupcake nurders".

I enjoyed reading these three stories by my favorite cozy mystery authors.
"Candy Cane Murder" -- this was a lot of fun and as usual, I love the recipes. I missed Moishe, Hannah's cat, though. I love all of his antics.
"The Dangers of Candy Canes" -- I love Jaine and her sense of humor (and how she tries so hard to resist great food, but ends up caving). I liked Angel's character and how she and Jaine finally bonded, sort of. Jaine's cat, Prozac's, thoughts are pretty funny, although not quite as snarky as they were in other books.
"Candy Canes of Christmas Past" -- I liked all of the stories, but this was my favorite. I loved going back to 1983 and reading how the heroine and her husband moved from New York City to Maine and tried to fix up the old farm house they bought. I loved meeting the characters from the author's other books and the small-town Maine setting. Plus the mystery about the town librarian's parents was interesting.
