Welcome to Litsy!

Christmas has come early to the beautiful Poconos resort that�s the setting for the American Baking Battle�s holiday special, where chef Courtney Archer is on hand to sample festive fare�and lift the lid off a killer . . . Six ambitious bakers are competing for glory and a grand prize, showcasing their most delicious candies, cookies, and desserts. Courtney detects some on-set grinchiness from her coworkers, especially judge Shannon Collins, but she�s hoping the sweet treats will restore everyone�s festive spirits. That Christmas wish swiftly fizzles when assistant director Kinzy Hummel is found strangled�with an apron from Shannon�s new product line . . . Shannon insists she�s innocent. Meanwhile, Kinzy had been under pressure from a disgruntled attorney to settle her late grandfather�s estate. But could that be a motive for murder? The show must go on even as Courtney sifts through competitors and crew for likely suspects. But unless she can quickly get to the truth, there�ll be another helping of homicide amid the pinwheel cookies and fruitcakes . . .
