Mildred Kilgore and Earlynne Biddle are planning to open a bakery on the square-if they can come up with the right recipes. Charlie Dickens faces two of the biggest puzzles of his career as an investigative reporter, and one of them involves his wife. Cute little Cupcake's talent as a singer and dancer makes her a tempting target for an unscrupulous exploiter. Lizzy must enlist the Dahlias to protect her while she herself is confronted by a romantic puzzle. And Sheriff Norris is forced to reopen a puzzling mystery that the town thought was solved. Once again, New York Times bestselling author Susan Wittig Albert takes us to a place where real people have courage, respect their neighbors, and dream of doing their best, even when they're not sure what that is. She reminds us that Christmas is a celebration of friendship, community, and what's right with the world. There's nothing puzzling about that. Reading group questions, recipes, and Depression-era background are available at DarlingDahlias.com.

      Listeners join the Darling Dahlias as they deal with life in Darling, Alabama, in 1934. Narrator Peggity Price depicts the members of the Darling Dahlias Garden Club. The challenges of survival during the Great Depression bring out the resilience of these women. Price deftly portrays their strengths through her portrayals of mutual support amid financial uncertainty and other difficulties. But when Sheriff Norris uncovers a conspiracy that reaches into the Jericho State Prison Farm and involves a wide variety of crimes, including murder, things get really serious. Price captures the story's shift with a more intense tone. Price makes this audiobook fun to listen to. V.M.G. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
