Killer Fruitcake: A Sea Glass Beach Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798343221503)

The holidays have come to Sea Glass Beach. So has a killer.

Milliner Paige Andrews has finally found her footing: a charming hat shop, a loyal rescue beagle named Lola, and the best group of eccentric friends a reluctant sleuth could ask for. She was even starting to enjoy the holidays.

Then the Avocado King turns up dead at the dog-surfing fundraiser, and Sea Glass Beach stops feeling quite so merry.

He was a multi-millionaire with a gift for making enemies, and half the town had a reason to want him gone. Somehow, Paige keeps ending up in the rooms where the suspects are.

With the Beachside Dining Club diving headfirst into the case and Lola's nose in everything she shouldn't touch, Paige untangles a knot of bad deals, buried grudges, and holiday secrets someone is desperate to keep quiet. The killer is counting on the festive chaos for cover.

Paige is counting on fruitcake, her friends, and maybe a small miracle.

Killer Fruitcake is a warm, witty holiday cozy perfect for fans of Joanne Fluke, Maggie Blackburn, and Lucy Score's small-town charm. Packed with coastal atmosphere, found-family heart, a scene-stealing beagle, and bonus recipes for your own holiday table.

If you love...

• holiday mysteries that are funny, not just festive
• a sleuth who'd rather be baking than investigating
• a tight-knit friend group with strong opinions and perfect loyalty

...pour the cocoa and come back to Sea Glass Beach.
