In the latest from the national bestselling author of Trick or Deadly Treat, Phyllis Newsom returns with a festive Christmas recipe that’s to die for…
‘Tis the season in Weatherford, Texas, and everyone in town is gearing up for the annual holiday parade and tree-lighting ceremony in the town square, where Phyllis Newsom will be serving her much-anticipated candy cane cupcakes. Local rancher Barney McCrory manages to charm one away from her before the ceremony begins. But unfortunately, when the minty confection is finished, so is he.

I don't normally read this type of mystery, but I'm going to have to make an exception. I'm a sucker for books that are set in places I'm familiar with. In fact, I'll pick up two copies, since I'm sure my mother would enjoy it.
Thanks, Keith. Hope you both enjoy it.
