Holly Wood is days away from saying "I do" to Nick Claus when a chilling discovery threatens to turn her dream wedding into a nightmare. While touring the grand Olde Jolly Hall, Holly stumbles upon a hidden passageway-and the body of Beatrice Harper, the long-missing owner. As whispers spread through the charming town and the mystery deepens, Holly must untangle a web of lies, old rivalries, and hidden motives. Suspicion falls on Charles Harper, Beatrice's enigmatic brother.

It's the most wonderful time of the year . . . unless you're on the naughty list.

But when the final stop on the tour ends in tragedy, the sugar-dusted sparkle of the evening turns ice-cold. Antique dealer Ambrose Pearce is found dead beside her world-famous Nutcracker collection-and it's clear her death was no accident. As secrets begin to crack and suspicion falls on the very people Holly was meant to charm, she must juggle small-town politics, sibling tension, and one very suspicious cup of mulled wine. Can Holly uncover the truth before the killer melts back into the crowd? Or will this holiday season be remembered for all the wrong reasons?

The Great Elvish Bake-Off Just Got Deadly Today Candy Cane Hollow smells like butter and bravado. I'm helping at the Elvish Culinary Guild's grand induction and tasting, and Gilbert, our house-elf at Claus Cottage, has made the finalists' bench with his prized mince pie. Then the celebrity headliner takes one bite of a showpiece pie and drops. Guild security locks the doors while city police sweep the kitchens. Whispers fly: a rival with a temper, an apprentice with something to prove, a sponsor with money on the line, a producer who prefers ratings to recipes. It doesn't matter what else I hear; the police decide the killer is Gilbert. They circle the pantry, question his spice tins, and treat every crumb like a confession. With Mrs. Claus calming frantic caterers and Nick keeping me in cocoa and courage, I start sifting clues-swapped tins, "secret" blends, alibis that crumble under heat. This isn't bad pastry; it's careful malice. I'm not letting them pin a murder on my friend. I need answers before the Guild shutters the finals and Gilbert is led out in cuffs.
