Gingerbread Murder

By Summer Prescott

A Stray Cat, A Christmas Mystery, and a Killer Hiding in Plain Sight.
Can a cat solve a murder?
The holiday season is in full swing in the charming beachside town of Calgon, Florida, and Melissa Beckett is looking forward to festive celebrations, holiday baking, and quality time with her husband, Detective Chas Beckett.
Instead, she finds herself following a cat straight into a murder investigation.
When an adorable stray feline leads Missy to the scene of a shocking crime, she quickly realizes that this Christmas is going to be anything but peaceful. The victim, a quiet and reclusive resident, appears to have lived a simple life with no obvious enemies and no apparent reason for anyone to want them dead.
But Missy knows better than to trust appearances.
As she and Chas dig deeper into the victim's past, they uncover hidden connections, unexpected secrets, and motives that no one saw coming. With few suspects and even fewer clues, the case proves far more complicated than either of them anticipated.
Meanwhile, holiday chaos continues to swirl around them as Missy's best friends, Echo and Carla, navigate the ups and downs of new romances. Between relationship drama, festive celebrations, and a mysteriously clever cat who always seems to appear at just the right moment, life in Calgon is anything but boring.
As Christmas draws near and the investigation heats up, Missy realizes that someone is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the truth buried. If she isn't careful, she may find herself on the wrong side of a very dangerous secret.
Can Missy uncover the killer before another tragedy strikes? Or will the answers remain hidden beneath the twinkling lights and holiday cheer?
Filled with heartwarming holiday spirit, seaside charm, lovable characters, a clever feline companion, and plenty of twists and turns, this cozy mystery is the perfect Christmas treat for mystery lovers.
Perfect for fans of cat cozy mysteries, Christmas cozy mysteries, culinary cozy mysteries, cupcake shop mysteries, amateur women sleuths, beach town mysteries, holiday whodunits, clean mystery fiction, small-town murder mysteries, and cozy mystery series with recurring characters.
This Christmas, the best clue may come with whiskers, paws, and a very curious nose.
