Synopsis

A cozy cabin. A Christmas cookie competition. A murdered baker. And somehow, Ellie Prescott is suspect number one.

All she wanted was a peaceful holiday house-sit in the charming mountain town of Misty Pines - just her, her pampered toy poodle Toffee, and a magnificently moody Ragdoll cat named Maybelle. Maybe some gingerbread. Definitely some peace and quiet.

Instead, she's dodging whispered accusations, finding mysterious notes in impossible places, and catching glimpses of a shadowy figure who always disappears before she can get a good look.

The victim left a trail of clues - and for reasons Ellie doesn't understand, she left them for her. Now Ellie must untangle a web of small-town secrets, financial schemes, and old grudges before the actual killer decides she's gotten too close.

Fortunately, she's not alone. She has a poodle with a nose for danger, a cat with suspiciously perfect timing, and a handsome carpenter who makes excellent stew and even better company.

Tinsel, Toffee, and Trouble is the first book in the Holiday House Sitters cozy mystery series - perfect for fans of Christmas cookies, clever pets, and small-town mysteries with a sprinkle of romance.
