With her maid of honor, Katie, busily planning Lucy’s wedding without her, Lucy will have to get to the bottom of this cold-hearted business in time for Kebab Kitchen’s mouthwatering Christmas celebration—and before her hometown’s holiday spirit washes out to sea . . .

Thank you to NetGalley , Tina Kashian and Kensington Books for an ARC. This is my personal review in exchange for the ARC.
Murder at the Polar Bear Plunge
This is another episode in the Kebab Kitchen Mystery series. The story takes place on the Jersey shore with a Greek/Armenian restaurant as a centerpiece. I have read earlier books in this series, but not all of them. The author has gotten much better at refreshing the past for the reader without being boring. The plot moves along swiftly and the book is fun to read. As always, there are some tasty looking recipes to try at home. I received this ARC book for free from Net Galley and this is my honest review.
