Gingerbread Bump-Off

Think your holiday season has been stressful?  Escape from endless shopping lists and also gain a little perspective with Gingerbread Bump-Off, in which Phyllis Newsom, overwhelmed with Christmas baking and prepping her house for her town's annual Christmas Tour of Homes, discovers the attempted murder of a close friend on her own front porch.  The 6th in the "Fresh-Baked Mystery" series starting with A Peach of a Murder, Gingerbread Bump-Off is also a good stand-alone story that includes recipes as a bonus.  Fans of Joanne Fluke (Devil's Food Cake Murder) should not miss this cozy culinary mystery.
