In this âwell-pacedâ mystery, a chocolate shop owner is killed, and thereâs quite an assortment of suspects (Publishers Weekly).
Â
Sisters Bernie and Libby, owners of A Taste of Heaven, have plans to partner up with the Just Chocolate store for a taste-tempting Valentine's Day fundraiser featuring pairings of exotic chocolates, food, and wine, as well as a bachelor auction. And though Bernie isnât too happy about her boyfriend volunteering to be auctioned off, sheâs got too much on her plate to be jealous: one of the coolers is leaking; they need a new butter supplier, and the mother of a very good client has died.
Putting their preparations on hold, Bernie and Libby attend the funeral, only to be recruited to help solve a mystery. In an old cemetery-turned-loverâs-lane, the body of Ted Gorman has been found in someone elseâs grave. The same Ted Gorman who supposedly died in a fiery car crash weeks earlier.
Ted was the ownerâwith his wifeâof Just Chocolate. So now, as Bernie and Libby continue working with the grieving widow, they open up a mixed box of dark financial scandal, sticky family ties, bittersweet passion, and just desserts.
Includes scrumptious dessert recipes for you to try!
