Between Christmas and New Year’s, Harmony Bay settles into a quieter rhythm.
The bakery ovens stay warm. Candles glow in darkened windows. And when the town’s cherished Yuletide Log—lit each winter as a symbol of goodwill—vanishes without explanation, it leaves behind more unease than alarm.
There’s no crime to report. No accusation to make. Just a question that lingers beneath the falling snow.
Baker Francis Desmarais begins asking careful, compassionate questions—not to assign blame, but to understand what the absence has stirred. As the Twelve Days of Christmas unfold, long-held assumptions are gently challenged, old resentments soften, and unexpected truths come into focus. The mystery deepens not through confrontation, but through listening—through noticing what changes when a familiar ritual is missing.
With gingerbread cooling on the counters, candles taking the place of fire, and neighbors finding new ways to gather, Francis discovers that some mysteries aren’t solved by uncovering a culprit—but by understanding why something mattered enough to be moved at all.
Welcome back to Harmony Bay,where traditions evolve, fires still burn, and goodwill always finds its way home.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
