In a cute new culinary cozy from USA Today bestselling author Sarah Fox, budding chocolatier Becca Ransom must solve a murder before she meets a sticky end.
Winter has arrived in Larch Haven, Vermont, bringing with it holiday cheer, lots of snow, and freezing temperatures. Becca Ransom is squeezing in time to skate on the frozen canals and drink hot chocolate by a roaring fire while also whipping up new creations for her family’s chocolate shop and experimenting with holiday flavors like eggnog, gingerbread, and peppermint. At the same time, Becca is preparing for the Baking Spirits Bright holiday baking competition, a popular annual event. She’s planning to enter an edible model of Larch Haven, with a mountain backdrop made of cake, gingerbread cottages, and chocolate gondolas on sugar-glass canals.
Professional bakers and a local food blogger are also participating in the event and they aren’t about to go down without a fight. The competition quickly heats to a boiling point, with flaring tempers and mysterious happenings. When one of the entrants is found dead, stabbed with Becca’s chocolate chipper, Becca tries to salvage the season by finding the killer. But the heat is on, and Becca is in danger of getting burned.

      When a baking competition is almost derailed by a contestant's murder, a chocolatier uses the case to cozy up to a local police officer. Becca Ransom has no regrets about giving up her Los Angeles life to return to her gorgeous childhood home of Larch Haven, Vermont, where winter makes everything in the small town look even more beautiful. Not only does Becca get to be near her beloved grandparents Lolly and Pop; she's also happily taken over their family chocolate shop, True Confections. When her closest friend, Dizzy Bautista, tries to talk Becca into entering the upcoming third annual Baking Spirits Bright competition, Becca at first demurs, modestly thinking of herself as more of a chocolatier than a baker. But Dizzy's anticipation is infectious, and the prospect of appearing in New England's renowned Bake It Right magazine would be icing on the proverbial competition cake. Soon enough, Becca finds herself not only in the competition but in the finals, with plans for a heavily detailed, fully edible model of Larch Haven as her showcase. Full of jitters, Becca shows up at the finals ready to do her best only to discover the body of fellow competitor Irma, killed by a blow from Becca's own chocolate chipper. Though Becca is shocked that a murder could take place in such a small community, she's also cheered at the idea that her favorite police officer Sawyer Maguire's involvement in the crime might mean a little extra time together as they pool their individual talents to solve the case. As sweet as its many sugar-infused puns.
