In Sugarberry Shores, Christmas isn’t a season—it’s a lifestyle.
Sea-glass artist Sela Sand loves her coastal town’s over-the-top holiday traditions almost as much as she loves her bear-sized Newfoundland, Grimmy. But when vintage Christmas postcards start turning up with poison-pen messages aimed at the Miss Merry Sugarberry pageant girls, Sela finds a glitter-drenched mystery tucked beneath the tinsel.
With the Christmas Market in a frenzy, a rumor-chasing podcaster stoking the drama, and a pageant director held together by candy canes and willpower, Sela teams up—reluctantly and spark-splendidly—with Sugarberry’s new police chief, Sawyer Darcy. Between peppermint lattes, driftwood decor, and clandestine rehearsals, the pair follow a trail of mistle-clues that’s as charming as it is cutthroat.
As the town races toward Glow & Behold!, the cherished tree-lighting that crowns Christmas Eve, the notes get nastier, the suspects get shinier, and Sela discovers that in Sugarberry Shores, image can be everything—and secrets taste best dusted with sugar.
In a town where every bow is perfectly tied and every secret is perfectly kept, who’s willing to ruin Christmas to win?
Warm, witty, and whisker-twitching with holiday cheer, this cozy mystery serves up seaside sparkle, small-town heart, a slow-burn romance, and a dog who steals every scene.
Perfect for fans of heartwarming holiday tales, quirky characters, and cozy mysteries with a touch of romance, Postcards, Paws, & a Poison Pen is the ultimate sleuthing escape for the season!
