About this ebook
The night of the ball arrives: masked guests, champagne flutes, a towering chocolate yule log centerpiece baked by Clarissa herself. But when the clock strikes twelve and the masks come off, the town’s most generous donor—wealthy widow Beatrice Langford—collapses in the middle of the dance floor, poisoned by a single sip of her signature spiced eggnog. Hidden inside the yule log: a handwritten confession from Vivi’s final days, naming Beatrice as the silent partner who kept the Heritage fraud alive long after Marjorie’s arrest.
With the mansion locked down by snow and suspicion, Clarissa must unmask a killer who has been hiding in plain sight—someone who knew Vivi’s secrets, who fears the confession will destroy their carefully rebuilt life, and who is willing to let the ball end in tragedy rather than let the truth come out.
Perfect for fans of holiday cozy mysteries, baking cozies, small-town amateur sleuths, gentle whodunits, and Christmas-themed cozy series. Book 3 in the Maple Glade Cupcake Mysteries series.
