Synopsis

When Christmas comes to town in Bar Harbor, Maine, so does a killer with a real taste for revenge . . .

With the holiday season in full swing, food and cocktails columnist and restauranteur Hayley Powell has lots to check off her last-minute to-do list. Not included is the sudden arrival of her father, who hasn't been in the picture since she believed in Santa Claus. Dwight Jordan's presence in Bar Harbor might just be the unwanted gift that keeps on giving—especially after he becomes the top suspect in a case of yuletide murder . . .

As Hayley plans a New Year's Eve bash while handling a hefty helping of family drama, she must lean into her closest friends to unravel a twisted mystery. Because the countdown is on to find out who killed the sore loser at the gingerbread house contest before Dwight disappears again—this time behind bars. And the more Hayley learns about the possible culprits, the more she knows it's either crack the case ASAP or watch everything crumble like a stale cookie . . .

Ok. I really enjoyed the twist and turns of this mystery! I truly had no idea who did the killin'. What got on my nerves, though, was the obnoxious/annoying characters! And there was just a tad too much cussing for my taste.......more

I love Christmas themed cozies. And when its one of my favorite series, its even better. Its Christmas in Bar Harbor, Maine, and Hayley's mother and boyfriend are in town for the holidays. What she didn't plan on was her estranged father who she hasn't seen since she was a child showing up in Maine.......more
