Peppermint Mocha Murder

About Peppermint Mocha Murder

When the Grand Holiday Parade rolls into Steeplechase, barista‑sleuth Madison Perkins is armed with three hundred Peppermint Bark Mochas, a glitter‑obsessed best friend in a Naughty Elf costume, and exactly zero patience for small‑town chaos. But when the town’s pompous banker drops dead after stealing Madison’s personal thermos, the festive morning turns deadly fast. The diagnosis?

Poison. The intended target? Madison.

With snow piling up, tourists swarming the streets, and a killer hiding in plain sight, Madison is thrust into the center of a chilling mystery. Detective Gabe Miller—equal parts protective, rugged, and infuriatingly kissable—insists on keeping her under guard. But Madison refuses to sit still while someone in Steeplechase is trying to turn her into a holiday headline.

Between decoding a riddle hidden in a legendary Secret Menu book, dodging overzealous parade volunteers, and navigating a murder investigation that hits far too close to home, Madison must uncover who tampered with her mocha before the killer strikes again. Because in Steeplechase, the snow isn’t the only thing falling this Christmas.
