Have Yourself a Fudgy Little Christmas is the eighth installment in the Candy Coated Mystery series set on Mackinac Island and featuring Allie McMurphy, owner of the Historic McMurphy Hotel and Fudge Shop. Picking up right where the last in the series left off, Allie is temporarily living with her pets Mal and Mella in Frances' apartment while the renovation work on the hotel continues. It's Christmas time Allie's busy creating and shipping online orders of her mouthwatering fudge.
A strange note appears on her door asking Allie to meet someone at the steps of Fort Mackinac and when she ventures out into the snow, her furry friend Mal uncovers yet another body - this one partially buried in a snowdrift. The young woman is relatively new to the island, and her last words are .... Frances. With her friend now a suspect in the woman's death Allie sets out along with a group of Senior ladies to clear Frances name before Christmas is ruined.
A fast-paced plot features the return of series regulars, mouthwatering recipes that make me wish I knew how to make fudge, furry friends and a spectacular setting. Fortunately, we seem to have gotten rid of one member in Allie's love triangle, but is the author daring to introduce a replacement in this addition? Let's hope not. This series is one of my favorites and I always look forward to my time spent on Mackinac with Allie and the gang.
