Chocolate, coffee beans, and a side of murder.
When Page Hamlin's baker vanishes on the opening day of the annual Chocolate Festival, she begs her sister-in-law Ellie to roll up her sleeves and help keep the Purple Page Bookshop and Café humming. For Ellie, the distraction is welcome-it's the anniversary of her husband's death, and baking is easier than crying.
But the celebration turns bittersweet when the missing baker is discovered in the dumpster out back...with her mouth stuffed full of chocolate-covered coffee beans. Even worse, the police find evidence that makes Page their prime suspect.
Ellie refuses to let her sister-in-law take the fall. Armed with curiosity, determination, and a dash of chocolate-fueled courage, Ellie sets out to uncover the real killer. But with too-perfect clues, simmering secrets, and plenty of suspects, she'll have to be careful-or risk becoming the next victim on the menu.
In Brighton Village, murder has a way of spoiling even the sweetest treats.
