The Christmas Cookie Conspiracy

The Christmas Cookie Conspiracy

When seven residents collapse at Sunset Manors annual cookie exchange, retired teacher Violet Hartwell knows something sinister is brewing beneath the tinsel and festive cheer. Someone poisoned beloved resident Mrs. Pattersons famous snickerdoodles—and then framed her for the crime by leaving her unconscious in the pantry, surrounded by suspicious powder and damning evidence.

Enter the Sunset Manor Detective Agency: Violets methodical investigation skills, Agness relentless journalism, Bradleys medical expertise, and Frank Morrisons... unique approach to crime-solving, which now includes "undercover" surveillance in a terrifying Santa suit ("SANTA SEES ALL!").

As Frank conducts his chaotic "Christmas Patrol" and the team analyzes contaminated cookies with scientific precision, they uncover a conspiracy far bigger than poisoned snickerdoodles. Missing funds, fraudulent invoices, and a desperate activities director willing to create chaos to hide her crimes—it all points to embezzlement disguised as holiday disaster.

But with Christmas just days away and the manors festive spirit shattered, can the detective agency solve their eleventh case, restore Mrs. Pattersons reputation, and save Christmas for Sunset Manor?

One things certain: this holiday season, justice will be served... along with reclaimed snickerdoodles and Franks catastrophic attempt at caroling.
