Barbara Ross’ Nogged Off. While Busman, Maine is busy preparing for the Christmas holiday, Julia Snowden of the Snowden Family Clambake Company is returning to New York to collect her belongings. She has been subletting her apartment so this will be her final trip to New York. When she arrives, she discovers the person, Imogen, who is subletting the apartment a hysterical mess. Seems the eggnog Imogen made for the Christmas party sent everyone who drank it to the hospital. Imogen is jobless, her boyfriend left her plus she has nowhere to go as she can’t afford the apartment. Julia offers to take Imogen to Busman, Maine to stay with Mrs. Snowden. But trouble seems to follow Imogen....... The moving truck with all Julia’s belonging from New York gets stolen out of Julia’s Mothers driveway. At the parade of boats when Santa arrives....Imogen manages to knock Santa into the water. At the decorated tree competition... Imogen manages to knock over all the trees. Then Imogen’s ex-boyfriend ends up murdered inside the stolen truck. But when the boyfriend shows up alive or is it his identical twin brother.....What is happening? Who is trying to fool whom? Was the office party eggnog problem caused on purpose? How is the Russian mob involved in all this? Join the feisty Julia as she protects her family and friends from the sinister evil lurking around the preparations for Christmas. Will she be able to figure out the puzzle confronting her? The secondary characters are well written, colorful, quirky and make the story interesting. The plot moves at a fast pace with plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader glued to the book. It is an original and unusual story that will make the reader feel they are right there in Busman with the characters. There is a stop at the famous L.L. Beans plus mouthwatering recipes at the end of the book. This is book # 4.5 in the Maine Clambake Mysteries series. It can be read as a stand alone. The author weaves the past and present together effortlessly making the reader right at home on this scenic Maine adventure. Good read with suspense, mystery, romance and humor. I volunteered to read Nogged Off. Thanks to NetGallery and the publisher, Kensington Books for the opportunity. My opinion is voluntary and my own.

A Christmas whodunit. Nogged off by Barbara Ross is a part of the A Maine Clambake Mystery series. If you read Eggnog Murder which came out a year ago (three novellas in one book), then you have already enjoyed Nogged Off. Julia Snowden goes to clear out her Tribeca apartment and ends up taking Imogen Geinkes home to her mother’s house for the holidays. Murder and confusion soon ensues. I enjoyed reading Nogged Off. It is well-written and proceeds at a steady pace. Julia, Chris, Gus, Julia’s mother are all included in the story. It can be read as a standalone for those new to the series. I thought the whodunit was clever with a surprising twist. In addition, there are some mysterious happenings at the Snowden house. They are beginning to wonder if the house is haunted. I enjoyed the humor sprinkled throughout Nogged Off. Nogged Off is an entertaining novella with a curious mystery, Christmas traditions, good food, family, friends, humor and a little mayhem.

Great Holiday reading..... This was a fun read! The short story was well spun with clearly defined characters, a few surprises, and an unusual mystery. I loved it, was sad to see it end so soon, and of course enjoyed Barbara Moss’ generous sharing of the delectable recipes mentioned in the story.
