Between a cutthroat dessert contest and her daughter’s new
job at the fanciest chocolate shop Tinker’s Cove has ever
seen, Lucy Stone is on a steady diet of tempting treats! But
with a killer on the loose, and Valentine’s Day around the
corner, there may be nothing sweeter than revenge…
It’s frigid in snow-covered Tinker’s Cove, and Lucy is
fighting the winter blues—and her widening waistline. No one
in their right mind would vacation in Maine this time of
year, but to boost the economy, the town is launching a
travel promotion for Valentine’s Day. As a reporter for the
Pennysaver, Lucy is assigned a puff piece on upscale
Chanticleer’s Chocolates, and its deliciously handsome
owner, Trey Meacham. But when a local fisherman drowns
suspiciously, Lucy’s certain her investigative skills could
be put to better use…
Everyone is shocked when Fern’s Famous Fudge loses its
status as “Best Candy on the Coast” to Chanticleer’s pricey
newfangled confections. And Lucy soon discovers there’s
another tantalizing tart behind the counter. Sultry store
manager Tamzin Graves is only too eager to serve her male
clientele—who find her as mouthwatering as her
beef-jerky-spiked truffles. Leaving a throng of jealous
women in her wake, it’s almost no surprise when Tamzin is
the next to turn up dead, her body covered in chocolate…
Could a bitter ex-wife be behind the crimes? Or a candy shop
competitor? There’s no sugar-coating the truth, and as Lucy
closes in on the culprit, she may find herself locked in the
clutches of a half-baked killer…
