Description
A new chocolate shop owner in a cozy Vermont town, a hit and run leaves a man dead, and unexpected twists no one saw coming...
When Nikki's husband of 20 years decided that he wanted a different life in Los Angeles it spawns a new life for her as well. Leaving behind Atlanta and her Journalism career there, she and her college bound son move to the small and tightknit town of Maple Hills, Vermont. With a bustling tourist season, the thriving community seems the perfect place to set up her new Chocolate Shop… yet opening day proves more deadly than profitable.
A hit and run right outside her shop door leaves a man dead and questions swirling. When the victim is identified as Steven Denforth, the most hated and reviled man in town, it resurrects the fissures that had recently torn Maple Hills apart. It seems that when Denforth first came to town, the quiet man bought the local paper, then proceeded to publish damning articles about some of the communities' most prominent members - secrets that no one should have known about.
Now he is dead and everyone is a suspect, including Nikki. As both a former reporter and an FBI Consultant, Nikki instinctively knows the dirt in Maple Hills is piled high and if she doesn't get to the bottom of it, and to the murder, then her stay in the quaint Northern Town may very well be short lived.
Reviews
Not worth it
2By msgnot4meI had to force myself to finish the small book. It’s not something I would recommend. The flow wasn’t there, the characters aren’t developed well but thank goodness it was only 120 pages. I rarely quit a book but this was one I shook my head at several time and debated deleting from my library before finishing. Now that I’m done, it’s definitely going away.Meh
3By coartchickLots of jumps of (un) logic. No typos that I saw. Just meh.To be fair
5By Hollow_DivergentHonestly I got the book cause of the cover haha….But the first few pages right off the bat…. Wild, got me hooked instantly and I AM NOT A BOOK PERSON. I have always had a hard time finding books I like and I’m excited to read the next book in this series!lacking logic
2By RxnjsquirIf your father is a brain surgeon are you qualified to perform surgery? that is the rationale for the heroine in this story her father was a super fbi agent and as a reporter she sometimes helped a detective. women must be bored and live vicariously to enjoy this foolishness. Get a life and make it worth living.Weak
1By wildly improbableI forced myself to finish it because it was short. I had to check the author’s website to make sure she was not a teenage girl. The protagonist is described as having her child “late in life”. She is forty-two, and her son is headed off to college, making him around eighteen. So she would have been around twenty-four when she had him. That is late in life!!?? It went downhill from there. Time wasted
