A smart teenage heroine, a strange conspiracy, and enough danger to keep the pages moving without losing its heart. - MacBeth
Twists land at the end, the female characters carry their own weight, and the central premise is genuinely unsettling. - Audrey
In the peaceful prarie town of Peabody Wisconsin, where the cows outnumber the criminals, and the farmers' market has more square footage than the police station, a string of suicides occur. Each one features an open box of Royalty House chocolates in the room of the deceased. Yet forensics testing reveals no poisonous content in the chocolates, and some were not consumed before death.
State Investigator Frank McKenna calls in science teacher Doc Thorson as science advisor on the investigation. The eccentric, brilliant, high-energy Doc Thorson brings along his two best science students and the capable and calm police officer Jane Benton to visit the Royalty House Chocolates Headquarters on a field trip.
They stumble across dark secrets and mysterious disappearances. And Penny discovers, in the worst possible way, the secret and total power that Royalty House chocolates have over the unwary who eat their sweet and deadly offerings.
