Snowflakes, secrets, and… a dead body. Cassie Alberta-Vail is excited that an old farmhouse in Little Leaf Creek is being restored into a culinary retreat by a well-known chef, and the locals are buzzing with anticipation. But things come to an abrupt halt when the owner is found dead before the retreat can even open its doors. With enemies piling up faster than snowflakes, and alibis that don’t add up, Cassie and her ex-cop neighbor, Tessa, are faced with more suspects than they can count. Clues point in every direction, and digging through the layers of grudges and rivalries proves harder than they imagined. With Tessa’s goats surprisingly distracted for a change, and her collie mix keeping a watchful eye on things, Cassie and Tessa head straight toward danger. Will they be able to get to the truth before the killer cooks up more trouble? Recipes Toasted Marshmallow Hot Chocolate Cake and Maple Walnut Cupcakes Destroyed in Little Leaf Creek is the fast-paced twenty-ninth book in the Little Leaf Creek Cozy Mystery Series.
