It's Christmas many years ago, and topping young Hannah
Swensen's wish list is becoming the go-to baker in Lake
Eden, Minnesota. But as Hannah finds out, revisiting holiday
memories can be murder . . . With her dream of opening The Cookie Jar taking shape,
Hannah's life matches the hectic December hustle and bustle
in Lake Eden—especially when she agrees to help recreate a
spectacular Christmas Ball from the past in honor of Essie
Granger, an elderly local in hospice care. But instead of
poring over decadent dessert recipes for the merry
festivities, she instantly becomes enthralled by Essie's old
notebooks and the tale of a woman escaping danger on the
streets of New York. Hannah's surprised by Essie's secret
talent for penning crime fiction. She's even more surprised
when the story turns real. As Hannah prepares to run a
bakery and move out of her mother's house, it'll be a true
miracle if she can prevent another Yuletide disaster by
solving a mystery as dense as a Christmas fruitcake . . .
