Murder always ruins the best baked plans . . .
Annie Hunter has a lot on her plate just before Christmas, but it’s not all sugar and spice and everything nice! With an open house at her aunt’s new Blackbird Bed and Breakfast, all Annie hopes for is a drama-free day.
Of course, events never go as planned.
On top of preparing a whirlwind of food, holiday decorating, and keeping to a tight schedule, a surprise visitor is also on the menu. When that visitor turns up dead, Annie must search for the killer to keep everything from crumbling like a stale Christmas cookie.
Annie’s plan to flush out the murderer includes one tasty bribe, a pinch of needling, and a heaping tablespoon of accusation. When she is threatened, it’s time to put it all on the back burner.
But the killer has other ideas.
While the snowflakes fly, Annie finds herself caught between a cookie and a crazy person. This time, it looks like she bit off more than she can chew.
A new venture and a wedding should mean everything is happy and joyous, especially in the run up to Christmas - but this time it is not to be!
Annie Hunter's aunt Leona is getting married Christmas eve and she and her fiance Danny are opening the Blackbird B & B as a joint venture - so far so good, but Leona has opened a can of worms by inviting Danny's estranged mother Heather to the festivities, but before she can explain herself Heather has managed to alienate various shop owners by being abrasive and a shop lifter! That would be bad enough but then she ends up well and truly dead and the murderer seems determined that Danny is going to take the rap for it, as the only wrapping Annie wants is Christmas and wedding gifts she starts to look into what is going on - only to find herself waist deep in trouble!
