Abby Shaw runs Divinity, the local candy shop, in Paradise,
Colorado. She is in the middle of making a batch of candy
when she receives a phone call about the arts festival. It
seems that the mayor has replaced the head of the committee
with Felicity Asbury, a very opinionated and overbearing
woman. Felicity has already made a list of do's and don'ts
for the festival, and the artists are in an uproar. Since
Abby is the second in command of the committee, she is
being asked to mediate with Felicity. Abby tries talking
to Felicity, but she leaves the Asbury home filled with
frustration and possibly without a booth in the arts
festival. The next morning she finds Felicity's car
outside her shop along with her dead body inside. Who
could want Felicity dead? Better yet, who wouldn't want
Felicity dead?
Rumors abound quickly in a small town, and Abby finds out
that many people believe that she had something to do with
the murder. After all, the body was found outside her
shop. Plus there is the speculation that she threatened
Felicity over the arts festival, and that she called
Felicity and asked to meet her outside Divinity the night
Felicity was murdered. Abby knows that they are only
rumors, but the police are bound to suspect her especially
since she can be linked to the murder weapon. She is
determined to prove her innocence as well as maintain her
business. Is that too much to ask for? Will she find the
culprit in time? Or will it be too late for her?
Sammi Carter has treated us to another delectable mystery.
