When Winnie Kepler and best friend Fran shop at a new gourmet chocolate shop, they notice a sign saying, the chocolate is to die for! Little did they know this innocent sounding expression might be proven true when the shop's first customer falls dead after eating a delicious milk chocolate treat. Rumors of poisonous chocolate spread like hot fudge on marble, forcing Winnie to put her own life on the line to save the chocolate shop and Fran's upcoming chocolate-laden Valentine's Day Soiree.
This chocoholic cozy mystery, the second in the Winnie Kepler Culinary Mystery Series, is tempered with overfed loan sharks, zealous reporters, a government bureaucrat that speaks in punctuation, as well as a good old boys club like none other. Add to the recipe a cup of strong coffee and a possible marriage proposal, time begins to run out quickly to save the party and impress a pair of potential in-laws.
Winnie Kepler, amateur sleuth, must solve . . . The Milk Chocolate Murder!
