Publisher's summary

In this intoxicating mystery by USA Today best-selling author Sarah Fox, a winter carnival becomes a recipe for disaster when a Shady Creek celebrity gets iced.

The Winter Carnival always brings holiday cheer, Christmas joy - and tourists with cash - to picturesque Shady Creek, Vermont. At the center of the glittering decorations and twinkling lights is booklover and pub owner Sadie Coleman, creating original cocktails, hosting a literary trivia evening, and cheering on her loyal employee Melanie "Mel" Costas as she competes in the ice carving competition.

But holiday cheer can't compete with former resident and renowned chef Freddy Mancini, who arrives with his nose in the air, showing off his ice-sculpting skills like a modern-day Michelangelo. During the artists' break in the night-long contest, Mel's tools disappear...and Freddy is found dead with her missing pick in his chest.

Although the police turn their attention to Mel, it seems everyone in town had a grudge against Freddy, including his assistant, his mentor, his former flame, and even his half-brother.

Faster than she can fling a Huckleberry Gin, Sadie finds herself racing to make sure the police don't arrest the wrong suspect-all while sharing a flirtation with local brewery owner Grayson Blake. Their chemistry leads to a heated rivalry at the hockey rink-and to the hot pursuit of a killer.

Super cute mystery!

A great continuation of the small town life ….and death….that a girl can be a part of! Small town festivities in Shady Creek, Vermont won’t stop…even when the police have to find a killer. Here comes our super sleuth! Having survived a kidnapping, attempt on her life and all sorts of saga in the first installment of the Literary Pub Mystery, Sadie Coleman is not going to let her friend Mel, go down for a murder she is sure she didn’t commit! We have pumpkin pies to die for, snow races, suspects to talk to, mustard loving hockey teams to make, and we can’t forget a little something spicy brewing behind the scenes with her pub owner competition, Grayson! Great addition, I can’t wait to see what Sadie will get into for the 3rd installment!!
