Peppermint Bark Betrayal (An Ugly Christmas Sweater Mystery Book 1)
By Kelli Fudge
The Winter Falls Holiday Market is the highlight of the season—until beloved vendor Lila Jameson collapses after sampling her own peppermint bark. The police suspect food poisoning, but Holly notices small details others miss: tampered packaging, tense rivalries between vendors, and a missing delivery slip. As she interviews townsfolk under the guise of “curiosity,” she pieces together a case involving ambition, jealousy, and financial ruin. By the final chapters, Holly unmasks the saboteur at the market’s closing ceremony, using her quick thinking and attention to detail.
