    About this audiobook

    It's Christmastime and everyone is heading to Torte, the most cheerful bakery in town. There's no place like home for the homicide . . .

    Ashland, Oregon, looks as pretty as a postcard this holiday season. The halls are decked, stockings hung, and eyes are all aglow-mostly thanks to the buttered rum. Jules Capshaw and her staff at Torte are busier than ever . . . still, even the town's most in-demand bakers need to take a break. So Jules invites everyone to celebrate at the local Winchester Inn's Dickens Feast, a six-course extravaganza with Yorkshire Pudding, Christmas goose, and all the trimmings. But as the weather outside becomes frightful, things inside turn less delightful when one of the guests ends up as dead as Scrooge's doornail. Now it's up to Jules and her helpers to make a list of suspects-and check it twice-to try to find out who's naughty, who's nice, and who's guilty of murder . . .

      This is a delightful entertaining series. Having spent time in the Ashland area it brings many memories back to me. Also love the recipes. Sad when the book draws to an end but look forward to the beginning of the next. The characters really come to life.

      I am really loving this series. Keep them coming, please.
    • 5/5
      Reading/listening to Ellie’s Bakeshop series is like coming home. I was transported to wintery Ashland and my mouth was watering at all the delicious baked goods Torte was whipping up! I enjoyed the close quarters of the murder mystery plot.

      The narrator of this audio did a great job bringing the characters of this book to life!
