Life just got a little sweeter in the island fishing
village of Eastport, Maine. Jacobia “Jake” Tiptree and her
best friend Ellie are opening a waterfront bake shop, The
Chocolate Moose, where their tasty treats pair perfectly
with the salty ocean breeze. But while Jake has moved on
from fixing up houses, she still can’t resist the urge to
snoop into the occasional murder.
Jake and Ellie have been through a lot together, from home
repair to homicide investigation. So when they decide to
open a chocolate-themed bakery, they figure it’ll be a
piece of cake. With Ellie’s old family recipes luring in
customers, they expect to make plenty of dough this Fourth
of July weekend. Having family home for the holiday only
sweetens the deal for Jake—until the ill wind of an early-
season hurricane blows up her plans. When the storm hits,
Jake’s grown son Sam is stranded in a Boston bus station,
and her husband Wade is stuck on a cargo ship. But as
bitter as the storm is, something even more sinister is
brewing in the kitchen of The Chocolate Moose—where health
inspector Matt Muldoon is found murdered.
Ellie never made a secret of her distaste for Matt, who
had been raining on their parade with bogus talk of health
code violations. Now, with no alibi for the night of the
murder, she’s in a sticky situation with the police—and
it’s up to Jake to catch the real killer and keep Ellie
living in the land of the free.
