Thanks for Muffin — Victoria Hamilton

When Merry Wynter's festive gala takes a fatal turn, she'll have to grill her guests to catch a killer . . . After years of planning and hard work, Merry Wynter was finally ready to host the grand opening gala of the Wynter Woods Center for the Performing Arts. With musicians, entertainers, members of the media and even influencers on the guest list, the event went off without a hitch-until a particularly nasty journalist posted a criticism of the gala and everything Merry was trying to accomplish. Still reeling from the review days later, Merry wasn't sure what to feel when she discovered the reporter's dead body on the grounds of Wynter Castle. With many of her guests staying on at the castle for the weekend, Merry realizes they've got a murderer in their midst. Going from celebrating to sleuthing, she discreetly questions each of them, trying to weed out the culprit. She quickly learns that the victim had heated arguments with several of the people at the gala, and it turns out those people were all connected by a tragedy in the past. Certain the killer is among them, Merry will have to unearth the final clue that nails the killer-before the killer decides she's getting too close . . . Includes delicious muffin recipes!
