A Sticky Situation... With Murder on the Menu

When food truck owner Delilah Frank and her clever Jack Russell terrier Pickle roll into Sugar Valley, Vermont for the annual Maple Festival, they're expecting sweet treats and eager customers. What they find instead is a bitter rivalry bubbling beneath the surface of this picturesque town.

The festival is thrown into chaos when maple syrup magnate Eleanor Caldwell announces plans to sell her family's generations-old business to agricultural conglomerate MapleCorp. But when MapleCorp's smooth-talking executive Richard Bennett is found face-down in a vat of maple syrup, Delilah's hopes for a peaceful festival evaporate faster than sap in a boiling house.

With an overzealous festival coordinator, a passionate organic maple farmer, and a displaced heir among the suspects, Delilah finds herself once again drawn into solving a sticky murder mystery. As she serves up her maple-themed hot dogs—from "The Sweet Timber" to "The Investigation"—she collects clues, gossip, and suspects while Pickle's keen nose leads them closer to danger.

Could the murder be connected to old land disputes? Secret botanical formulas? Corporate espionage? As Delilah navigates the complex web of Sugar Valley's maple politics, she discovers that someone is willing to kill to control the sweet secrets hidden in the Maple Heart forest.

Get ready for a cozy culinary mystery where family traditions run deep, corporate greed threatens a way of life, and a killer's plan to get away with murder is anything but sweet. Join Delilah and Pickle on their tastiest adventure yet, where the real mystery might be how a simple hot dog vendor keeps finding herself at the center of murder investigations!
