Note to This novella originally appeared in the cozy mystery anthology, Silent Fright.Murder never tasted so delicious.When competitors from far and wide descend upon Starry Cove for the annual gingerbread competition, Poppy Lewis has her hands full preparing for the big event. With one of her besties set to compete, it’s important that things run as smooth as royal icing.
But when the reigning gingerbread champ is stabbed with a sugar shard, and the other entrants begin acting sticky, Poppy must sift through the crumbs to discover the real culprit before her friend lands in gingerbread jail.
A quick story that’d originally been part of a Christmas mystery anthology. I was glad it got published freestanding since I never got back to finishing it in the anthology. Poppy once more figured out whodunit and who offed the gingerbread house contest baker. I definitely wasn’t right and thought it was fun how Poppy gathered the town for the reveal. A good little Christmas read!
