Welcome to Torte—a friendly, small-town family bakery
where the pastries are delicious…and, now, suspicious.
It’s almost spring in Ashland, Oregon, and the town
is preparing for the Shakespeare and the annual Chocolate
Festival. Business is cookin’ at Torte, and the store is
expanding as Jules’ team whips up crèpes filled with
mascarpone cheese and dark chocolate. Torte stands a chance
of being this year’s confectionery belle of the ball! Life
couldn’t be sweeter—unless murder taints the batter.
Evan Rowe, of Confections Couture, makes a chocolate
fountain that would put Willy Wonka to shame, and his
truffles are to die for—literally? Yes, the
world-renowned chocolatier has just turned up dead…right
after sampling a slice of Jules’ decadent four-layer
chocolate cake. Now all eyes are on Jules as she tries to
find the mysterious ingredient in her own recipe. Can she
sift out the truth before another contestant bites the
buttercream?
