Sniffing Out Scandal-a fun holiday read!

Sniffing Out Scandal from CKN Christian Publishing, Leanne Baker’s (moi…) Christmas offering is full of danger, a little romance, and a lot of adventure. Get in the holiday mood with this clean read while Sarah Murray searches for a missing child in the middle of an epic snowstorm. Recipes are included!

An Amazon review:

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read. Mysterious, Adventurous & Romantic!

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2023 by J.E. Grace

Another great read from Leanne Baker. I love Sarah’s spunkiness, cunning, and ability to think things out to solve crimes.
I feel this installment was even better than the last one. There is lots of action, danger, and a sweet romance included. The setting and her descriptions of the landscape brought the story to life. Highly recommended.
