The American Baking Battle is shooting a holiday special and a few people seem to have a serious case of the Bah Humbugs. Courtney does her best to get Shannon to open up about what’s going on because she’s not her usual charming Southern self. Unfortunately, Courtney is not successful and when the assistant director is strangled with an apron from Shannon’s new line, Shannon becomes the prime suspect. Courtney knows Shannon didn’t do it, but her friend’s strange behavior isn’t helping her plea of innocence.

As they say, the show must go on, and Courtney is keeping an eye on her list of suspects, trying to find out who would want to harm the young woman and why. With a squirrelly contestant that seems to have a desire to stir up trouble and a creepy attorney who had threatened the young woman, there are more than a few suspects for the woman’s murder. It’s just like making a soufflé, Courtney needs to get her ingredients (motive, means, opportunity and hard evidence) lined up and time it just right or it could all come crashing down around her and cause her to make a fatal fall.

Hubby and I are foodies and love watching cooking competitions. Given this, I find this series really enjoyable! Always a great whodunit and enough red herrings to make you keep changing your mind as to who did it.

I enjoyed this book. It's got great characters, an interesting story and a surprising killer. #ChristmasCandyCorpse #NetGalley
