It’s Christmas Crime! An Advent Romance by Anouk Filippini — New Paperback

Suzanne Sécretant heads to Paris for a holiday apprenticeship at the Rivoli bakery, where she expects to learn from a celebrated pastry chef. Instead, she spends her days rolling croissants and ends up witnessing a murder. The victim’s last words give her a clue, and two intriguing new acquaintances, Léo and Sofiane, make her Christmas in Paris even more complicated.

It’s Christmas Crime! pairs a cozy holiday mystery with a young adult romance. Each of its 24 chapters is sealed behind a perforated edge that readers can tear open, one chapter a day in the countdown to Christmas.
