Synopsis: Despite her best efforts, gluten-free baker Poppy McAllister finds herself confounded by a case of murder this Christmas in the latest installment of this delightful culinary B&B mystery series! Ever since Thanksgiving, when an engagement ring in a velvet box—and no gift tag—was left behind, Poppy and her pals have been left with an unsolved mystery. But at least this mystery isn&’t the kind that involves murder. That all changes when the body of a fish supplier is discovered in the kitchen of her ex&’s restaurant—and he&’s frozen, not fresh. For once, it&’s not Poppy who tripped over the corpse, yet she can&’t escape being drawn in since the victim has a note taped to him reading Get Poppy. Figures—an engagement ring isn't labeled, but the dead guy is addressed to her. Now, while Aunt Ginny plans a tree-trimming party and pressures Poppy to decode a mysterious old diary, the amateur sleuth is asked to &“unofficially&” go undercover at the restaurant to help the police. Until then, the only crime Poppy had been dealing with was the cat Figaro&’s repeated thefts of bird ornaments from the tree; now it looks like it&’s going to be a murder-y Christmas after all . . .
