Cinnamon Peters & The Rabbit Bandit

Christmas River #10.1

by Meg Muldoon

Who really murdered Henrietta O'Reilly?

It's Easter week in Christmas River. But instead of dying eggs and whipping up delicious Easter treats, pie baker extraordinaire Cinnamon Peters finds herself pulled into a perplexing mystery.

Before long, it becomes obvious that someone's out to ruin Easter.

And only Cinnamon holds the key to saving the holiday this year.

Cinnamon Peters & The Rabbit Bandit is an 8,500 word short story mystery based on characters from the Christmas River series and includes a bonus pie recipe. Sweet as a chocolate rabbit and as heartwarming as an Easter egg hunt, this little nugget of Christmas River will make your Easter week! So curl up with a cup of tea and a Cadbury Creme Egg and enjoy a sweet story from Amazon bestselling author Meg Muldoon.

*Author's Note: Chronologically, this short story takes place during the spring between Menace in Christmas River (Book 8) and Missing in Christmas River (Book 9).

Reviews

[Madeline]

Enjoyable novella.

[Katarzyna]

This is such a cute Easter story. It was so much fun to be back at Christmas River with Cinnamon, her family and friends. I am glad she was able to save Easter by solving not one but two mysteries :) I cannot wait for another Christmas River book!

[Jean]

A Dog-gone good story

Two new animal critters come to Christmas River; a sweet rabbit and very excitable, part-Pit Bull. Can they be compatible neighbors or is it a combination not meant to be?

[Beverly Williams]

Eggceptional

I love when I get to “see” Cinnamon and Daniel and the gang. Such a wonderful series and I can’t wait til late spring for another story.

[Brian Thomas]

Cute story, but too short.

[Lisa Norvell]

Fun

Tasty fun in Christmas River. Cinnamon and her sheriff husband are searching for a missing rabbit and Easter is only days away.

[Leslie Ferrari]

A cute Easter story.

[Mel Murray]

A short, sweet Easter story about our favourite Christmas River characters. Looking forward to the next one.

[Wendy]

Great series. I love the characters and am sorry they are such quick reads. Some of these short novellas are in 2 different books, but are usually paired with one previously unpublished story.
