Queen of culinary capers, Joanne Fluke, cooks up the most delicious gift of all: a recipe-filled holiday mystery in the beloved Hannah Swensen Mystery series! As December turns Lake Eden into the North Pole, the heat is on in Hannah Swensen's kitchen to honor two Christmas promises: baking irresistible holiday cupcakes and preventing a person who attempted murder from succeeding the second time around...

While Hannah speeds through a lengthy holiday checklist, drama in town grows like Santa's waistline on Christmas Eve. Her sister Andrea wants to stave off the blues by helping out at The Cookie Jar, Michele's love life is becoming complicated, Lisa needs Hannah's advice, and Delores has a Christmas secret she's not willing to share. But nothing dampens the holiday mood more than the chilling mystery surrounding the man found near death in an abandoned storefront two doors down from Hannah's bakery...

The befuddled John Doe can't recall a thing about himself--except for his unusual knowledge of restoring antique furniture. With a smattering of clues and barely enough time to frost Christmas cookies, Hannah must solve a deadly puzzle that could leave her dashing through the snow for her life!

"Dripping with sweet desserts and mystery!" --Popsugar


"Fun characters, delicious treats and a dash of danger abound in this super-sweet whodunit." --Woman's World
