New Year's champagne, lucky rabbits, screeching parrots and... danger. Winifred Page-Lopez in a glamorous flapper dress and beads is enough to stun everyone-especially her uncle Percival-at the New Year's Eve 1920's speakeasy-themed party. With Leo, dashing in a tweed suit and bowler hat, and accompanied by her grumpy corgi, Watson, Fred dons her dancing shoes for the Chipmunk Mountain museum's opening-night celebration. But the evening's sparkle is tarnished far too soon when Fred and Leo stumble upon a double murder. Now Fred must trade dancing shoes for her investigator's hat to solve the murders-and convince the owner of her favorite Chinese restaurant to open the Golden Rabbit's doors to her once again. As Fred shifts through puzzle pieces scattered like confetti and "corgi glitter," she uncovers plots and danger that threaten to ensnare her in the past. Solving this mystery might have ripples beyond the crime scene and could bring Fred's life in Estes Park crumbling down. (This culinary cozy mystery includes a recipe for sumptuously celebratory brown butter blondies.)
