The Enemy You Gnocchi

From USA Today bestselling author Catherine Bruns, comes a happy holiday turned homicide in the cozy little town of Harvest Park...

It's the deadliest thyme of the year…

With snow dusting the ground and tomato sauce sizzling on the stove, chef Tessa Esposito is ready to serve up some holiday cheer. And with the annual Festival of Lights underway, it seems nothing can dim her spirits. Not even Mario Russo, the newest scrooge in town, whose espresso bar has been quickly disrupting local businesses and stealing customers from Harvest Park's favorite coffeehouse.

But when Mario is discovered dead at the festival's opening, wearing a Santa suit and laying face down in the snow, Tessa realizes his bah-humbug runs deeper than she could have imagined. And when one of her dearest friends is implicated in the crime, she must make a list of Mario's enemies, check them twice, and discover who could be a cold-blooded killer...before they get the chance to sleigh again!
