Description
Food writer Hayley Powell isn't looking for love this Valentine's Day. But then she didn't plan to look for a murderer either . . . "This series truly shine[s]." —RT Book Reviews

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 and two teenagers while finding a killer, but it's better than letting a killer find Hayley first . . .

Includes seven delectable recipes from Hayley's kitchen!
