Steeplechase's Grand Holiday Parade is supposed to bring cocoa, carols, and community chee, not a corpse in a Santa suit. But when bank manager Arthur Banks collapses mid-float after drinking from Madison Perkins's personal thermos, the town's beloved barista-sleuth finds herself at the center of a deadly winter mystery. The mocha was meant for her... and the poison hidden beneath the peppermint was no accident.
With snowfall burying clues, a killer hiding in plain sight, and Detective Gabe Miller refusing to let Madison out of his sight (for professional and personal reasons), the holiday spirit turns sinister fast. As the Secret Menu book's riddles point toward new dangers and the parade crowd becomes a pool of suspects, Madison must uncover who spiked her drink, before the next cup served is her last.
A cozy, witty, and heart-pounding Christmas mystery where the cocoa is hot, the danger is cold, and the killer is closer than the mistletoe.
