Description



Book Synopsis



The island village of Eastport, Maine, is full of delights--including the delicious treats sold at The Chocolate Moose, the waterfront bakery run by Jacobia "Jake" Tiptree and Ellie White. But a new bakery in town is proving that you can have too much of a good thing . . .



Summer in Eastport means lobsters and blueberries, though tourists and locals alike always leave a little room for baked goods from the Chocolate Moose. This year's arts fair means even more sweet-toothed customers. But it's also bringing competition from a new rival, Choco's, trying to slice into the action.

Choco's owner, Brad Fairway, is pulling sneaky stunts to divert Moose patrons to his own shop, and Ellie finally confronts him about his tactics. But when Brad is found dead the next day--and the weapon is a gun that belongs to Ellie--it's only a matter of time before she is charged with the crime.

Sifting through the victim's connections, Jake and Ellie sense they're getting close to the real culprit--a little too close. Can they serve up the solution before the killer dishes up another helping of murder?
