The Magic of Christmas by Trisha Ashley

***3 stars
I love Trisha Ashley's books, with that being said, this wasn't in my top choices if you ask "what book should I read by Trisha Ashley?" I found it a bit dragging in places. I liked the characters and plot, I think it just fell a bit flat for me. Sorry. I do look forward to future reads by this author, as even her 3 stars are better than most ;)

Book Jacket Summary:
In the pretty Lancashire village of Middlemoss, Lizzy is on the verge of leaving her serially unfaithful husband, Tom, when tragedy strikes. Good job she has welcome distractions in the form of her Christmas Pudding Circle, a circle of friends swapping seasonal recipes, and a simmering rivalry with cookery writer Nick Pharamond – a rivalry set to come to boiling point after he snatched the Best Mince Pie prize away from her at the village show.
Meanwhile, the whole village is gearing up for the annual Mystery Play which takes place on Boxing Day. But who will play Adam to Lizzy’s Eve? Could it be the handsome and charismatic soap actor Ritch Rainford, or could someone closer to home win her heart? Whatever happens, it will certainly be a hard act to follow next year!
