Not one of her better ones
A decent plot but really not quite up to what I expect from the author. It just seemed to be a bit rushed and unfinished to me. The characters too seemed to be just a bit off in that they seemed to be acting out of the character I expected.
When Tom brings her a new person to teach she is worried about a stranger that is staring at them. Especially when she notices footprints all around her remote house. This feeling grows when the new girl goes missing. With the local police ignoring her warnings that she has been taken against her will, she calls Tom. Mixed up spells, another kidnapping and people acting out of character lead her a merry chase. Can she find the person responsible for everything that has happened? Will she find out the reason behind it?

Elly finds herself in the middle of a very serious case of a kidnapping. Tom, the magic detective, brings Mildred, to Elly to learn how to use her magic. After the first day, a strange man comes in to eat and the next thing you know, Mildred is missing. This brings Tom back and the hunt for Mildred begins but then Tom disappears. So Elly has to try to keep her café open, find Mildred and Tom, get ready for the Christmas festival and deal with her boyfriend, Rory, who has always been very jealous of Tom. What a fun story to read.

If you haven't read this series, I highly recommend that you give it try!
This is one of my favorite series. There is so much going on at the Mystic Cafe. Elly finds herself in another mystery. Mystery, magic, spells and can't forget handsome detective Tom are all part of this book. A fun read. I wish I could put something in what I was cooking to change some people 's problems and dispositions! Looking forward to the next book to see what adventure is waiting for Elly!

Not the real Kris Kringle
This was really good! Everyone seemed to be disappearing on Elly, and she had no idea what to do! Good thing Mary Jane and some other detectives are there to help!

This author confuses me so much. Her plots start out very interesting and entertaining. Then they become so transparent to the point of being juvenile.
