Jingle bells, and holly, and…murder? Pizzeria owner and amateur sleuth, Eleanora Ward, and her husband, Russell, are looking forward to spending the holidays in Florida with Ellie’s grandmother. Their trip quickly takes a turn for the worse when the manager of Ellie’s second pizzeria turns up missing in the midst of holiday chaos. A string of oddly well-planned robberies haunts the couple as they search for the missing manager, and the death of an innocent young man saddens them all. Ellie’s gut tells her everything is connected, but the pieces just don’t seem to fit together. With Christmas right around the corner, a pizzeria that is slowly falling into chaos, and a missing friend, this might turn out to be Ellie’s worst holiday yet. Can they solve the crime and save Christmas? Find out in this delicious Cozy Mystery!

https://www.facebook.com/Patti-Bennin... When Cozy Mystery author, Patti Benning, isn’t busy plotting the deaths of multiple fictitious characters, she loves to spend time hiking with her rescue dog, Max, who is her bestest writing buddy. ​Patti loves to cook and the food in her books has been tried and tested in her very own kitchen. She’s technologically shy, and stays away from social media a great deal, because it makes her feel more awkward and introverted than meeting someone face to face. ​Writing is the perfect job for her because in her books, she gets to explore all the topics she loves, food, animals, crafts and reading. She loves her readers dearly, and is thankful for the opportunity to share with them through her work.
