In keeping with traditions started by her Aunt Grace, Abby Shaw is hosting a candy making contest at Divinity, the candy shop she inherited upon her aunt's death. When a winner is announced, accusations fly regarding the originality of the winning recipe. Savannah swears the recipe has been in her family for years, while Evie swears she can prove it was downloaded from the Internet. Before either claim can be proven, Savannah turns up dead.

There's no shortage of suspects in Savannah's death. Growing up in the area, she's made many enemies. Was winning the candy competition incentive enough for Evie to get rid of her top competitor? Abby's own cousin, Karen, has moved in with her after catching her husband and Savannah together. Even Savannah's sister is holding a grudge against Savannah, and Abby wonders just how grief- stricken Savannah's husband really is since she heard them having an argument shortly before Savannah disappeared.
