When their delivery boy discovers a murdered man, the Bakehouse Three follow a trail of clues that brings a killer to their doorstep. Initially, Molly Ferris, Laura Donovan, and Carol MacCallan, are charmed by the silly “Twelve Days of Christmas” gifts showing up at their Scottish bakehouse, Bread on Arrival. However, the fifth day presents ghastly tidings—the murder of Loch Mallaig, Michigan real estate agent Eric Wright, who’s found dead with five golden rings on his fingers. Discovered by the bakehouse’s new delivery boy, Wright’s homicide soon engulfs the entire village in suspicion and conjecture. With a history of shady deals, the murdered Scrooge had a seemingly endless naughty list of people who could have killed him. With their business’s well-being threatened by their ties to the murder, the Bakehouse Three resolve to solve the mystery of who silenced Wright’s night. Soon, the three Scottish hens realize that not only is their livelihood at stake but their lives as well. They must uncover the murderer before the killer gets to them—otherwise, they might be three bakers-a-dying. This clever whodunit from Annie’s Scottish Bakehouse Mysteries series is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries, baking, Scottish culture, and female friendships.
