Christmas Candy Corpse is the third installment in the Courtney Archer series featuring chef Courtney Archer. The upcoming holidays have brought the cast and crew of American Baking Battle back to their home away from home in the Poconos for a Christmas themed challenge among six bakers, who will need to create candies, cookies and desserts.
Courtney is feeling guilty that she's not home helping her cousin organize the annual Hospital Toy Drive that her family has done for years. But, she's not the only one who isn't in the holiday spirit - contestants are on edge and Shannon Collins, the sweet tempered judge and Courtney's soon to be co-host on a new cooking show is acting very strange. Shannon is short tempered, gaining weight and sneaking off set at every chance she gets.
When Assistant Director Kinzey Hummel is found strangled by one of Shannon's aprons all fingers seem to point at Shannon but Courtney knows that her friend isn't a killer. Kinzey's grandfather just passed and she stands to inherit his estate so is the killer someone who wanted the family fortune to himself, or is it one of her co-workers who is trying to get ahead in show business?
A quick afternoon read with the return of series regulars, an interesting plot and premise, delicious recipes and just enough romance. It will be fun to see if Courtney is going to spend more time with her new series or keep going back to the American Baking Battle.
