Series: A Beacon Bakeshop Mystery #2
First Sentence: Sugarplum visions. Mind tormented me every year in the form of a ludicrous yet tantalizing belief that I could actually pull off the perfect Christmas
From the Publisher: With the spirit of the holidays wafting through the Beacon Bakeshop, Lindsey thinks she has the recipe for the sweetest Christmas ever—winning the town-wide cookie bake-off. Unfortunately, striving for a picture-perfect December in Beacon Harbor is a lot like biting into stale shortbread. Low on staff and bombarded by visits from family, Lindsey can barely meet demands at work, let alone summon the confidence to face fierce competition...
Self-appointed Christmas know-it-all Felicity Stewart is determined to take the top spot in the bake‑off, and she’s not afraid to dump a little coal in everyone’s stocking to do it. Just as the competition heats up, everything falls apart when the judge is found dead—and covered in crumbs from Lindsey’s signature cookie!
Solving a murder was never on Lindsey’s wish list. But with her reputation on the line during the happiest time of the year, she’ll need to bring her best talents to the table in order to sift out the true Christmas Cookie culprit. (Kensington)
My Opinion: I’m not sure what it is about this series, but I adore it. It could be how each character brings spice, the small-town feel complete with a lighthouse and ghost, or not knowing what this group of friends will get up to next. Including their version of a sting operation. But what I do know is that Murder at the Christmas Cookie Bake-off should be on your Christmas-themed reading list, and I want to see Mrs. Nichols again.
