The season is bright when Calliope “Callie” Costas agrees to contribute her Greek snowball cookies to a December bridal shower at The English Country Inn in the scenic waterfront town of Crystal Bay, WI.

As she reluctantly agrees to help the Inn’s owner track the killer, Callie is soon up to her spiced Greek biscotti in difficulties. For one thing, the hotel staff is freezing her out as she tries to uncover information, helped by her feisty Grandma Viv and her sweet but nosy aunt who’s visiting from Greece. And then there’s her deepening relationship with the suave and mysterious Detective Sands, a British expat now living in Wisconsin, who seems to have a few secrets of his own.
The icing on the cake is a host of simultaneous family mayhem including her father's surprising fixation on a real estate agent and her ex’s plans to move back to Crystal Bay. As the Inn’s annual Christmas Tea approaches, things are heating up in Callie’s Kitchen, but she’s on thin ice! Will Christmas be a festive celebration this year – or will it be murder?
Turn to the end of the book for six delicious recipes, including Greek cookies and savories, plus traditional Midwestern holiday favorites!

Dollycas’s ThoughtsIt’s December in Crystal Bay, Wisconsin. The snow if falling, frigid temps are setting in and Callie’s Kitchen is busy baking and making delicious things for the holiday season. She has agreed to provide her Greek snowball cookies for a bridal shower at The English Country Inn but before the shower begins Callie finds the party planner dead in the water. Her relationship with Detective Sands may hit the skids because she just can’t help investigating the death. Her aunt and grandma even get involved. As if she doesn’t have enough on her plate, her ex may be moving back to Crystal Bay and her father appears to be dating. Christmas may be drawing near but Callie is determined to ice the killer just like he iced his victim.
I started reading this story and it felt like home. The author really describes everything about Wisconsin perfectly. The weather, the people, the food, the little language quirks, it warmed by heart.
Callie is a lovable character, she has a huge heart and is a hard worker determined to make her business a success. Her friendship with Samantha struggled a bit in this installment and their interactions were spot on. Her relationship with Detective Sands struggles as well but we learn more about this character as they work to turn things around. Max and Callie work together in the kitchen like a well oiled machine and he is a great friend to her. Callie’s aunt, “Sweetie” is visiting from Greece and she teams up with Grandma Viv for some laugh out loud moments. Her father’s life is in a period of change too. Callie is unsure if it is the situation or the woman that he is seeing that gives her concern. All these characters are well crafted, engaging and true to life.
The murder mystery itself was complicated. There were more suspects that I imagined at first and I was totally wrong about the murderer. Things got really exciting as Callie thought she too had it all figured out. We were both surprised, she actually found herself in what could have been a life or death situation. She was livid by the time she was able to literally track the culprit down. Wow Callie! You Go Girl!
I can’t finish this review without talking about the food. Good gracious, I was practically drooling every time Callie or Max were in the kitchen. I could almost smell the food cooking. I can’t wait to try the recipes in the back of the book.
Christmas in Wisconsin is delightful, (sans murders, of course), the temperatures may be dropping and the snow may be falling, but the food and friendships will warm you right up. Thank you Jenny Kales for this wonderful story.

Spiced and Iced A Callie Kitchen Cozy Mystery Book 2 edition by Jenny Kales Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
kindle unlimited, but actucally somehow got all 3 on freebie days so 'bought' that way, because just from the start of the story no way would I have bought bought these. Very few cozies I have not liked, but this one and the other 2 are going to be on that list. Again didn't help help was ridiculously under edited, normally have voice going on tablet but kept having to stop it because it wasn't making any sense audibly, because they story wasn't making much sense. Again, too, some recipes and other filler at back, but part of the recipes aren't even greek, which more than goofy, supposed to be whole point. Supposed mystery with continuity issues, NOT good.

Secrets and Pies (A Callie's Kitchen Mystery #3)
Spiced and Iced (A Callie's Kitchen Cozy...has Callie, Max, and Piper gearing up for the holiday season along with a few upcoming events for Callie's Greek pastries, cookies, and meals. But only a few months after finding someone dead in their kitchen (Callie was supposed to have dinner with this man she had feelings for) she stumbles upon another dead body at the local inn. Things get complicated as Callie is curious as to what happened to Natalie who worked at the inn that she ended up dead in the frigid waters and Emma the owner of the inn who wanted Callie to keep an eye on the inn and find out why Natalie was murdered and who did it, besides how the inn was faring since the negative publicity. The problem with that was, Detective Sands, who Callie has been seeing has told her to stay out of danger and let the police handle everything. As the story progresses we find humor with Callie's relative from Greece visiting the family for the holidays, along with her grandmother, and of course her protective father. But Callie has to stay alert has she has had several close calls of not making it through the holidays with having a near car accident, then being run off the road, and finally by being put in a walk in refrigerator. Callie was determined though to not only find out who was behind Natalie's murder, but to save her life from being frozen when the killer turns up at the inn the same time as she did. Another cozy read that not only brings a great story line in the series, but recipes to go along with the dishes mentioned in the story. YUM!!!!
