Christmas has come early to the beautiful Poconos resort that’s the setting for the American Baking Battle’s holiday special, where chef Courtney Archer is on hand to sample festive fare—and lift the lid off a killer...

Synopsis:

Six ambitious bakers are competing for glory and a grand prize, showcasing their most delicious candies, cookies, and desserts. Courtney detects some on-set grinchiness from her coworkers, especially judge Shannon Collins, but she’s hoping the sweet treats will restore everyone’s festive spirits. That Christmas wish swiftly fizzles when assistant director Kinzy Hummel is found strangled—with an apron from Shannon’s new product line..

Shannon insists she’s innocent. Meanwhile, Kinzy had been under pressure from a disgruntled attorney to settle her late grandfather’s estate. But could that be a motive for murder? The show must go on even as Courtney sifts through competitors and crew for likely suspects. But unless she can quickly get to the truth, there’ll be another helping of homicide amid the pinwheel cookies and fruitcakes...

Review:

With a certain British show back on Tv, this is the perfect time to read this book! It gives you a VERY interested look at behind the scenes these typoes of shows, but from the judge's perspective! Add in a cozy little mystery, some chick lit, some subtle red herrings, and you have a delectable holiday treat! Best not to read on an empty stomach though, as all that cooking and food talk, might just get you in the mood to munch! Courtney is a likeable caharacter, and I'm looking forward to reading the first 2 books in this charming series!
