Murder She Baked: A Plum Pudding Murder Mystery Page #4

---

Uh-huh?

Yeah, well, I'm kinda an expert.

Oh, great.

Well, this tree is perfect.

I love it.

Thank you, Mike.

Hey...

There's the man.

We need to have just

a little man-to-man.

Now, you want a Christmas tree

in your house, right?

Well, you tell him

that my grandma

has beautiful ornaments

I want to hang on the tree.

The deal is, you get a treat,

but you got to stay

away from the ornaments.

And my sweater.

Excuse me. I've got

to take this. Sorry.

Detective Kingston.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Um... I'm really sorry,

I got to go.

Duty calls.

Okay. Is everything okay?

There's been a number

of home invasion robberies

in the neighborhood.

Lock the door after I go

and be careful.

Hey, Mike.

You be careful.

I will!

You're worried about me.

I like that.

Plum pudding

was traditionally served

at Christmas in Britain.

It dates back

to the 14th century.

To make plum pudding,

you don't even need plums.

But even a good recipe

can be altered.

It's up to the Baker

to add a twist

that makes it her own.

Mm. This is delicious!

Oh, I'm so glad you like it.

I couldn't sleep last night,

so I came up with this idea

of making individual-

sized plum puddings,

so your customers could

carry them around--

- Amazing!

- ...And still shop.

I'm putting in an order

for a large one

for my Christmas dinner.

I'm inviting my whole

family to meet Larry.

Oh! How'd you two meet?

At my lawyer's office.

My husband had just died,

and I was dealing with

his estate.

Larry happened to

be there that day, too.

We were engaged

within six weeks.

Maybe too fast.

Maybe. But, you know...

Hey, Hannah!

I got your invoice.

Haven't had a second

to write a check.

Is it okay if

you swing by this evening?

- Sure!

- Great.

We're open till 9:00,

but Larry's on 24/7.

Okay. Yeah, great.

Excuse me.

Okay, I have two more boxes

to bring in, just so you know.

I'll be right back.

I'm sorry.

Are you serious?

Oh, god.

Here. Take my pen.

Wow, this is lovely.

Yeah, I love this place.

They have great food

and the wine list is fantastic.

I spent a year in France,

so I got a taste for wine.

You lived in France?

The specials are listed

at the front of the menu.

Bon apptit.

- Oh, thank you.

- Merci.

Yeah, I, uh...

After dental school,

I traveled around Europe,

and went to France for a week

and ended up staying for a year.

So you speak French?

I do. Je parle Francais

un petit peu.

Yeah, the best way

to learn a language

is to live it.

I've always wanted to travel,

but I guess

there's just never time.

Aw, you should do it,

you should make time.

Traveling's so great.

It gives you

a different perspective
