Bittersweet Demise
(2017)(The sixth book in the Chocolate Shoppe Mysteries series)
A novel by Mary M O'Donnell
Halloween is more tricks than treats at the Chocolate Shoppe Bakery, where Jillian Green must unmask the motives behind multiple crimes.
Moss Holloween, the annual Halloween celebration in sleepy Moss Hollow, Georgia, turns bittersweet for Jillian Green and the Southern Sweetie Pies baking club when they find themselves immersed in the mystery surrounding the murder of a visiting museum curator.
Meanwhile, Jillian and her grandmother, Bertie Harper, decide to decorate The Chocolate Shoppe Bakery with a Día de los Muertos—Day of the Dead—theme using traditional decorations from Hispanic and Mayan history. Jillian prepares a display that includes a cheap reproduction of a Mayan vase emblazoned with a cacao tree motif. But a break-in at the bakery leaves the display in shambles, the vase in shards, and Jillian’s nerves in shreds as she tries to connect the dots on both crimes. Is the death linked to the vandalism? Is money the root of both evils? If so, Jillian knows the trick to solving this Chocolate Shoppe mystery will be simple: Just follow the dough.
This clever whodunit from Annie’s Chocolate Shoppe Mysteries series is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries, baking, female friendships, and light romance.
