Mercedes "Mercy" Colibrí can identify a perfume by its top note from across a room. What she cannot identify, apparently, is whoever keeps swiping buñuelos off windowsills all over Ondina — including her abuela's.
Rude.
With Christmas Eve closing in and the whole town prepping for the Festival Navideño, Mercy turns her perfumer's nose toward catching a thief. Standing in her way: a family with too many theories, a cedar-scented distraction she's pretending not to notice, and Manchito — a mutt whose loyalty ends precisely where powdered sugar begins.
Turns out, not every crime smells like one.
