One Night In Bellwether
- Holiday Edition -

 STEP INTO BELLWETHER

Bellwether’s Holiday Gala should’ve ended with cocoa and carols—until a visiting baking influencer turns up dead in Sugar Spell’s kitchen.

The annual holiday bake-off at Sugar Spell Bakery was supposed to end with cocoa and applause—until newcomer Piper Wren’s unstable telekinesis sputtered, sending a tiered cake flying straight onto Mayor Sila Hollis’s head as she bent to retrieve a dropped contest sign. Laughter erupted, frosting flew, and moments later the lights flickered out… When they came back on, star baker Marlene Fitch was found felled by a rolling pin.

Now ViVi Graves and her black-lab familiar Fig follow a trail of cinnamon, secrets, and sputtering magic through Sugar Spell and the Community Hall. As the winter fog closes in, clues point in four directions—an ambitious up-and-comer with a flair for pink (Piper), someone who knows the kitchen too well (Greta), the tourist-hungry mayor (Sila), and the meek flour miller (Bennie). One night, one case, and one truth wrapped in tinsel—until ViVi’s magic threadwork tugs at what everyone else missed.
