Christmas in Willowby should be filled with gingerbread, goodwill, and cheer.
Instead, it begins with murder.
The town is sparkling with lights and laughter as Tamsin Blake hosts the Velvet Scone Café’s annual gingerbread charity sale. With Iris and Connor helping behind the scenes, it should be the sweetest event of the season.
Until a beloved local collapses in front of the crowd.
When Maurice dies after tasting a beautifully decorated gingerbread house, shock ripples through the market. He was kind, generous, and quietly looking into something that now may have cost him his life.
As the festive buzz turns to whispers, Tamsin starts to uncover cracks beneath Willowby’s cheerful surface. A rival with a grudge. A family member with something to gain. A newcomer desperate to protect her reputation. And somewhere among them, a killer who knew exactly how to strike.
With the whole town watching and suspicion creeping closer to home, Tamsin must piece together the truth before more than Christmas is ruined.
Because in Willowby, secrets do not stay hidden for long.
And this holiday season, one of them is worth killing for.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
