Food and cocktails columnist Hayley Powell is not looking for love this
Valentine's Day. Of course she also isn't planning on looking for a
murderer. . .
Fed up with dating after a disastrous setup, the only thing Hayley wants
to snuggle up to is a box of made-to-order chocolates from plus-sized,
plus-mouthed chocolatier Bessie Winthrop. But when Bessie is found dead
in her kitchen, only Hayley suspects that Bessie's heart attack might
actually be a candy-coated murder.
Turns out Bessie had more enemies than a boxful of chocolates, each one
a suspicious flavor. It's sticky business juggling a job, two teenagers
and finding a killer, but it's better than letting a killer find Hayley
first. . .
Includes seven delectable recipes from Hayley's kitchen!
