This fun new story from a rising star of culinary cozies is just what your sweet mystery tooth is craving. The Chocolate Moose Bakeshop and its irresistible pastries are as delicious and delightful as the fourth installment in the Death By Chocolate series by Sarah Graves.
Â
As co-owners of Eastportâs beloved waterfront bakery, the Chocolate Moose, Jake and Ellie know their customers expect them to cream the competition at the townâs annual Cookie Baking Contest. But theyâre really just in it for fun, hoping to get Jakeâs daughter-in-law baking again. Those plans collapse when fearsome local curmudgeon Alvin Carter is murdered, and every crumb of evidence points to Tiptree family friendâand all-around sweet guyâBilly Breyer.
Â
Billyâs sisters beg Jake and Ellie to prove his innocence. After all, lots of folks had gone sour on Alvin, whose popularity ranked somewhere between a toothache and the plague. But just as the ladies begin sifting through the suspects, a series of grass fires blaze across the island, threatening catastrophe. Now, Jake and Ellie will need all their courageâand an extra dash of that downeast Maine stubbornnessâto sniff out the real killer before anyone else gets burned . . .
