NOTE: This is a novella. Culinary sleuth Angie Amalfi believes that not even Christmas should get in the way of preparations for her wedding to homicide detective Paavo Smith. But in this season of surprises, Angie gets a potent holiday punch when a powerful earthquake strikes San Francisco and sends her on a magic carpet ride straight into a stockingful of suspense. And just when she thinks her magical mystery tour can't get any stranger, she becomes the target of a serial killer who terrorized the San Francisco Bay Area over forty years earlier. Angie needs to find a way to keep her merry Christmas from becoming a nightmare, not only to prevent it from being lights-out for Christmas, but also herself. Note: Cook's Curious Christmas can be purchased here separately, or together with The Thirteenth Santa in COOK'S CHRISTMAS CAPERS, available on Kindle or in paperback.
