Itβs the most wonderful time of the yearβ¦Unless youβre Sally Muccio.
The full-time baker and sometime sleuth is ready to burst into song. She and her husband are expecting a bundle of joy, her sisterβs wedding is just around the corner, and itβs Christmas, her favorite time of year. But when Salβs the victim of a carjacking by Santa himself and a forgotten item links her to a murder, she doesnβt feel like ho-ho-hoing anymore.
Damian Ruger was a drug user, womanizer and first-class jerk. And unfortunately for Sal, she once had a connection to him in high school. The dough really hits the fan when her bakery's gingerbread cookies are found next to his dead body, and Sal's cake server is used as a murder weapon. Someone is trying to frame the expectant mother, but why? Sal has no choice but to try to clear her name...before she and the baby are singing Christmas carols in prison!
