Sometimes you need a sweet tooth to take a bite out of crime . . .
Bailey King is living the sweet life as assistant chocolatier at world-famous JP Chocolates in New York City. But just when Bailey’s up for a life-changing promotion, her grandmother calls with news that her grandfather’s heart condition has worsened. Bailey rushes to Harvest, Ohio, where her grandparents still run Swissmen Sweets, the Amish candy shop where she was first introduced to delicious fudge, truffles, and other assorted delights.
She finds her grandfather is doing better than she feared. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for a local Englisch developer, whom Bailey finds dead in the candy shop kitchen—with Jebediah King’s chocolate knife buried in his chest. Now the police are sweet on her grandfather as the prime suspect. Despite the sincere efforts of a yummy deputy with chocolate-brown eyes, Bailey takes it on herself to clear Jebediah. But as a cunning killer tries to fudge the truth, Bailey may be headed straight into a whole batch of trouble . . .
This was a good first book in a new series (and a new to me author as well), Bailey's father didn't become Amish like his parents but Bailey spent lots of time with them whilst growing up and they gave her a love for sweets (both eating and making!), although Bailey is up for a promotion when she hears her Daadi (Grandfather) is ill she goes to see him and her Maami (Grandmother), the morning after she arrives though she finds a local businessman dead in the sweet shops kitchen!
She needs to prove she isn't the murderer and she needs to keep her Grandparents shop running or she could end up in a very sticky situation.
