Gingerbread, Mischief & Muzzles
(2026)(The third book in the Knitting Cozy Mystery series)
A Story by Kat Stone
Gingerbread, mischief, and a holiday whodunnit… In Tinselton, Christmas is never simple.
In the snow-dusted village of Tinselton, where gingerbread houses line the shop windows and dogs in hand-knitted scarves parade through the market square, Milly is ready for her sweetest December yet. Alongside her loyal rescue pup Daisy, she’s set to lead her friends in the annual Gingerbread Showdown—a contest that brings out the best bakers and craftiest knitters in town.
But when their showstopping gingerbread cottage is found in ruins on the eve of judging, and Daisy is blamed for the destruction, Milly’s quiet Christmas quickly turns into a mystery. With rumors swirling and a mischief of pranks stirring up trouble among bakers and dog lovers alike, Milly must clear Daisy’s name and get to the bottom of the sabotage.
As secrets crumble and Christmas tempers rise, Milly and Daisy follow a trail of clues through flour-dusted kitchens and yarn-filled parlors, determined to save the holiday—and maybe win the contest, too.
Warm, witty, and sprinkled with festive spirit, Gingerbread, Mischief and Muzzles is a cozy Christmas whodunnit for anyone who believes every holiday needs a touch of mystery, a loyal dog at your side, and a village where friendship is the sweetest treat of all.
