Hazelnuts and Homicide

Murder isn't on the menu... until it is.

Bookshop owner Année's Poe-themed Thanksgiving supper club is supposed to kick off Hazelton's first Christmas Market with warmth, good food, and literary fun. But when a guest collapses before the final course, the celebration turns deadly, and the whole coastal town falls under suspicion.

Année has more at stake than anyone knows. The Literary Table is her livelihood, the dinner was hers, and one of her closest friends has questions swirling around him that she can't yet answer. With the Christmas Market only days away, she can't afford to wait for the truth to find her.

With her loyal Bernedoodle, Oscar, at her side, Année follows a trail of tampered ingredients, buried grudges, and holiday rivalries simmering beneath Hazelton's cheerful façade - and discovers everyone at her table had something to protect... and someone had something to hide.

Pour yourself a mug of cocoa and settle in. Hazelton has a holiday mystery to solve before the season goes up in smoke.

A charming cozy mystery with recipes included, for readers who love festive small-town atmosphere, bookshop settings, a lovable dog companion, and clean, satisfying whodunits full of red herrings and gentle humor.
