Her cupcakes were the hit of the holiday season, but finding her baking mentor dead puts Ava on the naughty list.
Ava Decker was looking forward to Clover Creek’s magical Christmas festival. But when she discovers beloved chocolate factory owner Vera Holloway floating face-down in a vat of chocolate, Ava realizes someone wanted to permanently cancel Christmas for her favorite chocolatier. Things go from bad to worse when Ava’s usual crime-solving techniques result in one of the suspects filing a restraining order against her.
Her amateur sleuthing careens through Clover Creek’s holiday festivities like a runaway sleigh. From the festive Peppermint Parade to the elegant Snowflake Soiree to the enchanting Candy Cane Carnival, Ava manages to leave a trail of chaos, formal wear disasters, and a missing fortune in chocolate money. Can Ava unwrap this candy-coated conspiracy without getting herself arrested, or will her Christmas end with handcuffs instead of presents?
Candy Canes & Crimes delivers holiday hijinks with a deadly twist in this delightfully disastrous addition to the Frosted Misfortunes cozy mystery series. If you love Christmas chaos mixed with murder, you’ll adore Lisa Siefert’s most festive disaster yet.
My Review:
A great addition to the series.
This is an entertaining cozy mystery book. I can never get enough of cupcake bakery owner, Ava, her cat, Lucky and all of Ava’s friends in Clover Creek. This book is just as good as the other books in the series and features Ava’s fun personality and love interests, along with the dead bodies which Ava always seems to discover. Ava always tries to solve the murders on her own, landing her in unusual situations. I am already counting down the days until the next book in the series comes out.
Thank you so much for sharing about this book! It looks wonderful. I also love your blog background with all the beautiful cats. I love cats! :) Warm greetings from Montreal, Canada.
