But for now she&#8217;s staying in her friend Frances&#8217;s apartment, busily baking batches of holiday fudge. After someone leaves a mysterious note on the door to meet up, the curious fudge maker goes to the rendezvous with her bichonpoo, Mal\u2014only to discover a woman facedown in a snowdrift. With her dying breath, the woman gasps, \u201cFrances.\u201d The police suspect she named her killer, but Allie knows that&#8217;s impossible. She needs to wrap up this case before the trail runs cold\u2014and give her friend the gift of freedom this Christmas season . . .<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-2 tb_23787e9 last\">\n                                                        <div class=\"tb-column-inner tf_box tf_w\">\n                        <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_2d1ea91  repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25879 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/smitten-top-pick-banner-1.png?resize=296%2C72\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong><br \/>Release Date:<\/strong> Oct 27, 2020<br \/><strong>Series:<\/strong> <em>A<\/em> <em>Candy Coated Mystery<br \/><\/em><strong>Book:\u00a0<\/strong>8<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong> Kensington\u00a0<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $7.99<\/p><hr \/><p><br \/><br \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong>Warning:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 <em>Many diets will be broken with this book.<\/em><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This book includes delicious and mouthwatering recipes that are just begging to be made. So, get your baking gear ready, because you will want to bake every single recipe in this cozy-mystery book by Nancy Coco. Baking and a great murder-mystery? Count me in!<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s the off-season; Christmastime at the Island, the perfect setting for Christmas decorating contests and hot cocoa with whipped cream. The reconstruction is coming along nicely at the McMurphy Hotel and it should be up and running in no time. Thankfully for Allie, she\u2019s been able to keep up with her fudge orders by staying at her friend\u2019s (Frances) apartment.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When an anonymous note is left at her door, that then leads to a mysterious death and has Frances as the main suspect, Allie, along with the some busy(body) ladies, will join forces (sort of) to exonerate their friend.\u00a0 But with sudden blizzard conditions and no electricity, things are looking dark and fudged.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Charming and cozy Mackinac Island has a killer on the loose. So, gather your cozy blanket and park yourself on the couch, because you will want to keep reading to solve this one. This story has great flow and you\u2019ll soon fall in love with the Island\u2019s lifestyle and activities. With lots of snow in the forecast, these high-spirited characters will keep you entertained.\u00a0 My favorite characters were the busybody \u201cBook Club\u201d ladies.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I found this book to be quite enjoyable. A classic cozy murder-mystery, filled with great characters, a beautiful setting and creative clues. I loved that the characters knew each other so well and that it would take a newcomer to upend a whirlwind of new information. These characters took care of each other and stood up for one another.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As old secrets are uncovered, this mystery will take you through the very end to solve it. But sit tight, you\u2019ll enjoy going along with Allie to the shipping office and visiting with her friends.\u00a0 The stakes are higher than ever on this one and as rumors run rampant and tensions mount, Allie must find a way to navigate it all, without upsetting those closest to her.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Patricia<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_eb0616c customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/38C0PKc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/have-yourself-a-fudgy-little-christmas\/id1512240520?itsct=books_toolbox&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=11l88k&amp;ct=books_have_yourself_a_fudgy_little_chris&amp;ls=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/have-yourself-a-fudgy-little-christmas-nancy-coco\/1136315256?ean=9781496727596\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/ca\/en\/ebook\/have-yourself-a-fudgy-little-christmas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Nancy_Coco_Have_Yourself_a_Fudgy_Little_Christmas?id=-NDUDwAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christmas on Mackinac Island brings a flurry of festive activity for fudge shop owner Allie McMurphy\u2014but also a body in a snowbank . . .\u00a0SNOWED [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26617,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[110,127,48],"tags":[153,223,367,404,405,485],"class_list":["post-26616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kensington-publishing-companies","category-patricia","category-reviews","tag-4-5-stars","tag-cozy-mystery","tag-mystery","tag-recommend","tag-recommended-reads","tag-top-picks"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -

So, get your baking gear ready, because you will want to bake every single recipe in this cozy-mystery book by Nancy Coco. Baking and a great murder-mystery? Count me in!<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s the off-season; Christmastime at the Island, the perfect setting for Christmas decorating contests and hot cocoa with whipped cream. The reconstruction is coming along nicely at the McMurphy Hotel and it should be up and running in no time. Thankfully for Allie, she\u2019s been able to keep up with her fudge orders by staying at her friend\u2019s (Frances) apartment.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When an anonymous note is left at her door, that then leads to a mysterious death and has Frances as the main suspect, Allie, along with the some busy(body) ladies, will join forces (sort of) to exonerate their friend.\u00a0 But with sudden blizzard conditions and no electricity, things are looking dark and fudged.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Charming and cozy Mackinac Island has a killer on the loose. So, gather your cozy blanket and park yourself on the couch, because you will want to keep reading to solve this one. This story has great flow and you\u2019ll soon fall in love with the Island\u2019s lifestyle and activities. With lots of snow in the forecast, these high-spirited characters will keep you entertained.\u00a0 My favorite characters were the busybody \u201cBook Club\u201d ladies.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I found this book to be quite enjoyable. A classic cozy murder-mystery, filled with great characters, a beautiful setting and creative clues. I loved that the characters knew each other so well and that it would take a newcomer to upend a whirlwind of new information. These characters took care of each other and stood up for one another.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As old secrets are uncovered, this mystery will take you through the very end to solve it. But sit tight, you\u2019ll enjoy going along with Allie to the shipping office and visiting with her friends.\u00a0 The stakes are higher than ever on this one and as rumors run rampant and tensions mount, Allie must find a way to navigate it all, without upsetting those closest to her.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Patricia<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/38C0PKc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/have-yourself-a-fudgy-little-christmas\/id1512240520?itsct=books_toolbox&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=11l88k&amp;ct=books_have_yourself_a_fudgy_little_chris&amp;ls=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/have-yourself-a-fudgy-little-christmas-nancy-coco\/1136315256?ean=9781496727596\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/ca\/en\/ebook\/have-yourself-a-fudgy-little-christmas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Nancy_Coco_Have_Yourself_a_Fudgy_Little_Christmas?id=-NDUDwAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26616"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26616\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
