Publisher Description
A New York chocolatier lands in a sticky situation when she returns to her Amish roots in this debut cozy mystery by the Agatha Award-winning author.
Bailey King is living the sweet life as assistant chocolatier at a famous New York chocolate company. But just when she’s up for a major promotion, she gets word that her grandfather Jebidiah’s heart condition has worsened. Bailey rushes to Harvest, Ohio, where her grandparents still run Swissmen Sweets, the Amish candy shop where she first learned about delicious fudge, truffles, and other assorted delights.
Unfortunately, Baily’s grandparents are suffering from more than just heart trouble. A local Englisch land developer is trying to take over their shop. And when the man is found dead in the candy shop kitchen—with Jebidiah’s chocolate knife buried in his chest—the sheriff suspects Bailey. Now, with the sweet help of a handsome deputy, Bailey is out to clear her name. But as a cunning killer tries to fudge the truth, she may be headed straight into a whole batch of trouble . . .

Assaulted Carmel
This book was a delight. The culprit was a surprise and didn’t show up until the end. Such superior writing and suspense. Thank you for a great read and series.Love your books.
Cute
It’s like an episode of “Murder, She Wrote” only instead of a writer named Jessica in Cabot Cove, it’s a pastry chef named Bailey in Amish country. Enjoyed hearing a little bit about Amish culture. Unfortunately, the author has a mannerism that distracted me. She mentions the main character biting the inside of her lip over and over again. If you use “biting the inside of your lip” references as a drinking game, you will be sloshed by page 47. Still, a good beach book.
Very Good
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I can't wait to read another by this author. Very well written, great character descriptions and plot!
