The holidays are the icing on the cake for bakery owner Hannah Swensen.
Surrounded by her loved ones, she has all the ingredients for a perfect
Christmas--until murder is added to the mix. . .
When it comes to holidays, Minnesotans rise to the occasion--and the
little town of Lake Eden is baking up a storm with Hannah leading the
way. The annual Christmas Buffet is the final test of the recipes Hannah
has collected for the Lake Eden Holiday Buffet Cookbook.
The recently divorced Martin Dubinski arrives at the buffet with his new
Vegas showgirl wife--all wrapped up in glitter and fur. His ex-wife,
however, seems as cool as chilled eggnog. And when Hannah's mother's
antique Christmas cake knife disappears, its discovery in the
décolletage of the new--and now late--Mrs. Dubinski puts the festivities
on ice.
With everyone stranded at the community center by a blizzard, Hannah
puts her investigative skills to the test, using the ingredients at
hand: half the town of Lake Eden--and a killer. Now, as the snowdrifts
get higher, it's up to Hannah to dig out all the clues--and make sure
that this white Christmas doesn't bring any more deadly tidings. . .
Wacky and delightful characters, plus tempting recipes from appetizers
