Gingerbread and Gremlins: A Harper Dade Taste of Magic Bakery Mystery
By Kat McGee
The Willow Hollow Gingerbread Extravaganza is in full swing when disaster strikes beneath the twinkling holiday lights.
A local sorcerer is found dead under a pile of holiday display rubble, and Harper Dade’s prize-gingerbread house display becomes evidence in a murder investigation. All eyes are on the sugar-crazed gremlins wreaking havoc, but when the great-grandmother of the town’s handsome wizard mechanic confesses, Harper knows the truth is far more twisted.
Now, she follows a trail of frosting through a half-baked conspiracy. With her magic trying to wrangle the magical mayhem that follows her like a shadow and her cat familiar, Knox, providing a soundtrack of terrible holiday puns, Harper discovers the gingerbread isn’t just for show but the main part of a devious spell. Someone is using the enchanted confections to turn the town’s residents into mischievous minions.
To stop this magical takeover, Harper has to fight fire with frosting. She must use her own family’s enchanted recipes to create a counter-spell for her gingerbread display. But with the clock ticking toward midnight, one wrong twist of a whisk could spoil the batch and unravel the town’s holiday magic for good.
