Death of a Chocoholic (Hayley Powell Mystery, Bk. 4)

Fourth installment in the cozy Hayley Powell Mystery series featuring a food-and-cocktails columnist who gets drawn into murder investigations with a culinary twist.

In Death of a Chocoholic, food and cocktails columnist Hayley Powell isn’t looking for love this Valentine’s Day — or a murderer. After a blind date fizzles, her attention turns to plus-sized, plus-mouthed chocolatier Bessie Winthrop, who appears to have died of a “heart attack.” But Hayley suspects foul play when she realizes Bessie’s many enemies make for a candy-coated list of suspects. Balancing her career, two teenagers, and her amateur sleuthing, Hayley must uncover the truth behind the sticky situation before the killer strikes again.
