A shimmering market, a ruthless killer, and a holiday trip that turns Vienna into a maze of danger.
Darcy Finnegan expected gingerbread and handcrafted toys at the famous Christkindlmarkt—not a murder. But when a powerful toy magnate is found crushed beneath the golden gears of a newly unveiled carousel, the festive glow turns ominous.
With panic spreading and a beloved toymaker blamed, Darcy can’t walk away.
Teaming up with her bestie, Lizzie, her clever Schnoodle Mozart, and Interpol Agent Marcus Evans, she follows a trail of cinnamon and sawdust threaded through a glowing market.
A business partner with everything to gain and an artisan with too much to lose make every stall a potential trap. But when Mozart uncovers an unexpected clue, Darcy knows one thing: behind the sugar-dusted treats, someone will kill to protect a very profitable lie. And when the snow finally settles, Darcy is blindsided by the one twist she never expected.
