Be ready or be fudged. It’s the week of the annual Gingerbread Festival in the sweet southern town of Buttercup Ridge and Poppy has been hired to work at the famous Buttercup Manor, one of Georgia’s most charming mountain Inns. With a festive Main Street, holiday tunes floating through the breeze, and as many knitted gifts as a person could want, the run up to Christmas is proving to be a magical week. Until a body wrapped in gold thread is found by the riverbank. With the help of a local paramedic and a little terrier referred to as Yorkshire Pudding, Poppy pieces together the mystery surrounding this horrible holiday crime. But can she find the culprit before the oven timer beeps?
