When a packed Christmas party turns into a murder scene, the small town of Sweetwater Falls has no shortage of suspects. When Charlotte McKay uncovers a body while catering a Christmas party, she doesn't know who she can trust. The people who hired her are quick to point the finger in her direction, ramping up her need to find the real criminal. But everywhere she turns, there is a new suspect, and another lie she has to sift through to get to the truth. Charlotte doesn't believe that the couple who plays Santa and Mrs. Claus every year at the Christmas festival is capable of something as dastardly as murder, but Nick and Nancy's alibi turns up one lie after another. Sweetwater Falls has a bounty of wholesome, wonderful people, but the more Charlotte digs for the truth, the more she uncovers secrets that are best left in the dark. Charlotte knows she needs to find the murderer fast, but when no one is willing to tell the whole truth, Charlotte is afraid she will be brought in for a crime she didn't commit. "Peppermint Peril" is filled with layered clues and cozy moments, written by Molly Maple, which is a pen name for a USA Today bestselling author.
So much fun! Loved the characters and the humor. Charlotte and Marianne are looking for a platter to display the cupcakes they catered for a Christmas part. Opening the pantry a dead body falls onto Charlotte.
