Death and Eggnog (Sugar Creek Mystery Series Book 5)
By Nova Walsh
A stolen spotlight. A shocking murder. A Christmas mystery Abby Hirsch never saw coming.
The town’s annual Christmas pageant is the highlight of the season, and Abby Hirsch is thrilled to be catering for the festivities. But when local star turned Broadway legend Katherine Kirby makes a dazzling return to Sugar Creek to headline the show, the holiday spirit turns frosty. Rehearsals unravel into chaos, old rivalries flare up, and just days before opening night… Katherine’s sister is found dead.
The suspect list is as long as Santa’s naughty list—jealous understudies, jilted lovers, and the ever-dramatic Drama Mamas all had a reason to want Katherine’s sister gone. But as Abby untangles the mystery, she realizes this case isn’t just about a stolen spotlight—it’s about long-buried secrets that someone is willing to kill to protect.
As the town buzzes with holiday cheer, Abby has enough on her plate—running her business, juggling her relationship with Sheriff Ryan Iverson, and trying to keep Sugar Creek’s most dramatic divas from turning Christmas into a crime scene.
With time running out and the holiday season at stake, Abby must crack the case before the killer cancels Christmas for good.
With festive charm, tantalizing treats, and a mystery that will keep you guessing, Death and Eggnog is the perfect holiday read for fans of Ellie Alexander and Maddie Day. Grab a cup of cocoa, curl up by the fire, and get lost in this deliciously cozy Christmas whodunit!
