Coles Cinnamon and the Spirit of Spruce: A Catmint Chronicles Christmas Novella at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
A dying Christmas tree, a stolen Nativity, and a village whose holiday spirit is hanging by a thread. Escape to a snow-dusted British village for a holiday mystery that feels like a warm gingerbread cookie and a crackling fire. If you’re looking for a "no-murder" festive retreat filled with ancient traditions and a dash of winter magic, this novella is your perfect Christmas companion. It’s December in Cresswell-on-Wyrd, and shop owner Rowan Thorne is feeling the holiday pressure. The village is a finalist for the prestigious "Cotswold Village of the Year" award, and the prize money is the only thing that can save the historic church roof from a watery grave. But three days before the judges arrive, the village’s legendary outdoor Spruce turns brown overnight. Desperate to save the festival, Rowan brews a secret recipe from her aunt’s grimoire: The Spirit of Spruce. The miracle works, but the peace is short-lived. When the priceless, hand-carved Nativity figures vanish from the church sanctuary, the village descends into finger-pointing and chaos. To make matters worse, the competition’s official adjudicator is a bitter exile looking for any excuse to disqualify the town. With a snarky talking cat calling the shots and two French-speaking pugs acting as undercover agents, Rowan must track down the missing figures before the judging begins. But the thief isn't looking for profit—they’re protecting a family legacy that’s been hidden in the rafters for decades.
