Christmas Cupcake Murder
Synopsis
December has turned Lake Eden, Minnesota into a snowbound holiday town, and Hannah Swensen has a long checklist. She runs The Cookie Jar bakery and has promised to bake Christmas cupcakes. She has also promised herself to keep anyone from being murdered.
People around her keep adding to the load. Her sister Andrea wants to fight off the blues by working shifts at the bakery. Michele's love life is getting tangled, Lisa needs advice, and Delores is keeping a Christmas secret.
The real trouble starts in an abandoned storefront two doors down from the bakery, where a man is found barely alive. He cannot remember who he is. The one thing he does know is how to restore antique furniture.
With few clues and little time between batches of frosted cookies, Hannah sets out to work out who he is and who wanted him hurt. Whoever did it may now be a danger to her.
Over a dozen cookie and dessert recipes from the bakery are included, so the festive, cozy mystery comes with things to bake between chapters.
