When the reigning Christmas fruitcake champion is found dead beside a slice of her own bake, bakery owner Tilly Haverstick knows it's murder. Her baker's eye can tell the candied cherries haven't bled into the crumb, meaning a killer swapped the real cake for a deadly decoy—and Tilly holds the only clue.

Welcome to Lantern Run, where horse-drawn buggies share the snowy roads and a bakery cozy mystery is brewing at the Second Rise creamery. Tilly only entered the contest to redeem her family's fifty-one-year-old fruitcake joke, but now she's caught in a baffling amateur sleuth mystery. Armed with a bloodhound's nose and the unsolicited opinions of her great-aunt Lovey, Tilly must sift through a town of suspects. Complicating matters is Corporal Nate Brightbill, a stoic state police detective who has never eaten fruitcake. As Nate works the official angles and Tilly tracks the floury footprints he can't see, their unlikely partnership might just sweeten this Pennsylvania small town mystery.
