In Seaside Cove, every truffle has a dark side.
Immediately after someone steals a secret family recipe from the home of new arrivals Tyler Winkle and his headstrong niece, the man who wanted to buy the recipe is murdered. Rick Atwood, owner of Seaside Cove’s B&B, is asked to help with the investigation. Rick’s worst fears come true when his daughter Alex teams up with Tyler’s 17-year-old niece to run a shadow investigation.
While he’s worrying about Alex, Rick also realizes the suspects in this case have more secrets than there are ingredients in Tyler’s world-famous flourless chocolate brownies. Then, just when it looks like the trail has gone cold, everything heats up.
