What starts as a simple job soon turns into a sleuthing adventure when Ellie stumbles upon murder, mayhem, and more small-town secrets than Christmas cookies.
After a messy divorce, fifty-something Ellie Prescott is starting over-one house-sitting job at a time. Her latest assignment brings her and Toffee, her mischievous toy poodle, to a postcard-perfect town decked in twinkle lights and tinsel. But when the former bakery owner-famous for guarding her secret recipes-is found dead before Christmas, Ellie's peaceful getaway turns into a recipe for disaster. Armed with a curious nose (Toffee's) and a knack for stumbling into trouble (Ellie's), the pair soon uncover layers of rivalry, jealousy, and a dash of holiday deceit. Someone in this cozy little town has been stirring up more than cookie batter... and if Ellie isn't careful, she might be next on their naughty list.
Full of warmth, wit, and canine charm, Tinsel, Toffee, and Trouble is the perfect holiday escape for fans of small-town mysteries, sweet treats, and second chances.
