I adored this book. The mystery kept me guessing, and the characters felt so real that I wanted to move to Frostberry Hollow. The bakery descriptions were delicious, and the included recipes made me feel like I could smell the cinnamon rolls through the pages. I cannot wait for the next book.
"Cozy mystery at its best."

The pacing, the atmosphere, the gentle tension... this book is everything a winter cozy should be. The final chapters had me holding my breath, and the ending left me smiling. The recipe section is such a charming addition. The Winter Spice Loaf has become my new favorite.
"Mara is my new comfort heroine."

I loved everything about this story. A bakery, snowglobes, a small town full of secrets... what more could I ask for? I appreciated how the recipes connected to events in the book. It really made Frostberry Hollow feel alive. This is exactly the kind of cozy mystery I want on my shelf every winter.
