Murder always ruins the best baked plans . . . Annie Hunter has a lot on her plate just before Christmas, but it's not all sugar and spice and everything nice! With an open house at her aunt's new Blackbird Bed and Breakfast, all Annie hopes for is a drama-free day. Of course, events never go as planned. On top of preparing a whirlwind of food, holiday decorating, and keeping to a tight schedule, a surprise visitor is also on the menu. When that visitor turns up dead, Annie must search for the killer to keep everything from crumbling like a stale Christmas cookie. Annie's plan to flush out the murderer includes one tasty bribe, a pinch of needling, and a heaping tablespoon of accusation. When she is threatened, it's time to put it all on the back burner. But the killer has other ideas. While the snowflakes fly, Annie finds herself caught between a cookie and a crazy person. This time, it looks like she bit off more than she can chew.

But quick thinking and a willing volunteer save the day. Until that willing volunteer imbibes one drink too many. But that's the least of the problems that keep piling up faster than the snowflakes of a Nor'easter. A body, poisonous berries, and competition from a cutthroat competitor threaten to end the Black Cat Café once and for all. Annie tries to sift through the half-baked information to uncover the real motive-and killer-before it's too late. ***Jingle Buried Cookes is volume 9 in the Black Cat Cafe Cozy Mystery Series.
