Queen of culinary capers, Joanne Fluke, cooks up the most delicious
gift of all: a recipe-filled holiday mystery in the beloved Hannah
Swensen Mystery series! As December turns Lake Eden into the North Pole,
the heat is on in Hannah Swensen's kitchen to honor two Christmas
promises: baking irresistible holiday cupcakes and preventing a person
who attempted murder from succeeding the second time around...
While Hannah speeds through a lengthy holiday checklist, drama in town
grows like Santa's waistline on Christmas Eve. Her sister Andrea wants
to stave off the blues by helping out at The Cookie Jar, Michele's love
life is becoming complicated, Lisa needs Hannah's advice, and Delores
has a Christmas secret she's not willing to share. But nothing dampens
the holiday mood more than the chilling mystery surrounding the man
found near death in an abandoned storefront two doors down from Hannah's
bakery...
The befuddled John Doe can't recall a thing about himself--except for
his unusual knowledge of restoring antique furniture. With a smattering
of clues and barely enough time to frost Christmas cookies, Hannah must
solve a deadly puzzle that could leave her dashing through the snow for
her life!
