My Review:
El Littlefield runs a catering business by the name of, "The Butler Did It"---with a little bit of solving mysteries as a side business. While catering Dr. Max Haverhill's fancy retirement dinner, she is pulled into the disappearance of a 200 year old relic. As El would say, it's time for a triple chipper! With her best friend missing and several guests at the party getting sick, El knows it's time to get busy on this mystery. With Max by her side they rush to get this mystery solved.
When El's daughter and grand daughter go missing El knows its no longer playtime, suddenly things get even more serious and overwhelming for all involved.With so many things going wrong at once, the lead character feels that she is backed against the wall and must face this on her own. Using the figurehead as a bargaining tool, El must take matters into her own hands and get her family back. Soon she realizes that lines have been drawn and the people that she thought she could trust, can be trusted no longer.
**Disclosure** This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from CFBA.
