Truffles, Trouble, and Treachery

(This book was based on Truffles, urder Sweetly Served by Morgana Best - 2016- but has been extensively rewritten.)

Chocolatier Narel Myers thought catering a retirement party would be a sweet way to grow her business. She never expected it to turn deadly.

When a high-powered advertising executive takes a bite of her signature chocolate and drops dead on the spot, Narel's dreams of success crumble faster than an overbaked cake. The detectives arrive with one suspect firmly in mind: the woman who made the fatal treat.

Sure, Narel's known for her killer chocolates—but she means that in the best possible way. Her confections are supposed to leave customers dying for more, not actually dying.

With the evidence stacked against her like layers in a perfect truffle, Narel's running out of time to prove her innocence. Fortunately, she has an unlikely ally: her temperamental rescue cat.

But can one cranky feline's peculiar skills be enough to keep Narel from meeting a very sticky end?

In a town where secrets are darker than Belgian chocolate and trust is rarer than a perfect ganache, Narel will need all the help she can get to clear her name—before she becomes the next victim on the killer's menu.
