Maple Nut Murder

You'll love this delicious Christmas in July treat!! If there is one time of year Bert loves more than any, it's Christmas! However, during the hot summer month of July in Culver's Hood she has to get her wintery fix at her best friend's year round holiday shop: Christmas in July. Thankfully, this year Carla is hosting a week-long event, featuring sales on decorations, Bert's famous pies, and even a visit from Santa and his elves. Unfortunately, any semblance of holiday cheer is destroyed when a body is discovered. In order to keep the peace with her dear detective, Bert is determined to stay far away from the investigation, until, unfortunately, someone very close to her is implicated in the crime. A love triangle, tensions in the police ranks, and even organized crime put a definite damper on this mid-summer holiday. Will Bert be able to solve the case before she’s the next victim of someone who is definitely on Santa’s naughty list?
