Decorated to Death

These talking pets solve crimes!

Deck the halls with boughs of... murder? This Christmas, someone's sleighing more than just the competition. Let's hope I can crack this case before Christmas morning-because in Cider Cove, 'tis the season to be wary, and someone is definitely not making it onto Santa's nice list.

An innkeeper who reads minds. A cozy lending library. An ornery detective. Talking pets and a trail of bodies. Cider Cove is the premier destination for murder.

A laugh-out-loud standalone cozy mystery by New York Times, USA TODAY, & Wall Street Journal bestseller Addison Moore

Cosmopolitan Magazine calls Addison's books, "...easy, frothy fun!"
Humor with a side of homicide.

The snow is falling, the chocolate is flowing, and my three-month-old is experiencing their very first Christmas at the Country Cottage Inn. Between hosting Cider Cove's glamorous Deck the Halls Holiday Home Tour and making everything perfect for baby's first Christmas, I've got my hands fuller than Santa's workshop.

But when our festive celebration turns deadly, a prominent community member winds up deader than last year's Christmas tree-poisoned via eggnog no less. Suddenly my holiday cheer becomes holiday fear, and I'm trading diaper changes for decoding murderous thoughts.

Between Matilda Westoff's missing cat Jellybean, my newly discovered sister's arrival (making my other sister Macy greener than the Grinch), and Mom and Georgie's latest holiday chaos, I'm running on less sleep than the elves at the North Pole. Add in Hammie Mae's apparent baby genius making me question my parenting skills, and this Christmas is anything but silent.

With Mayor Mackenzie demanding I solve this before the Christmas Eve Gala, it's up to me, Fish, and Sherlock Bones to unwrap this mystery before the killer delivers the deadliest gift of all.

The Country Cottage Inn is known for its hospitality. This Christmas, the holiday home tour has one house that's decorated to death.
