A Holiday Homicide

Annie Murray's festive plans at the Secret Bookcase are thrown into disarray when a celebrity baker drops dead during a gingerbread-baking competition...

As whispers of foul play swirl like snowflakes, Annie soon finds herself tangled in a web of secrets, small-town rivalry, and long-buried mysteries.

With pub-owner and new love Liam by her side and the help of her loyal bookstore colleagues, Annie sets out to solve Redwood Grove's latest murder mystery. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more she discovers that the baking community isn't as sweet as it seems...

Can Annie unwrap the truth before the killer strikes again? Or will this be one Christmas she won't live to remember?

Grab yourself a Christmas cookie and lose yourself in this delightfully twisty murder mystery that will keep you guessing until the very last page. A perfectly festive read fans of Joanne Fluke, Tonya Kappes, and Ellery Adams will adore.
