It’s holiday and baby arrival time in Willow Creek, PA. Daisy is finding herself going in many directions but none as exciting as waiting for the arrival of her first grandbaby! 

In book five Daisy has been hired to host a tea for the local theater company. The hostess was a local girl who made it big in NYC acting. She has returned home but has not been as widely received as she thought. During the tea Daisy finds the host dead in the clotted cream. Can Daisy find out who is responsible for the actress’s demise or will Daisy follow and never meet her grandbaby?

This series is so good at balancing real life with the characters but not going so overboard the book is not the escape you wanted. Daisy is still working on her romantic relationship along with her tenuous relationship with her mom and sister. We get a glimpse of what has brought the discord between Daisy and her mom and sister. Daisy’s grandbaby makes a welcome debut but not without some new mommy struggles. I was pleased with how postpartum depression and antidepressants were discussed. A topic that can be triggering for some. 

My library only has audiobooks so I am not sure if the printed version has recipes.
