Give Fudge a Chance

Nancy Coco

It's summertime along Michigan's beautiful Lake Huron, and sleuth extraordinaire Allie McMurphy is determined to win this year's fudge competition at the annual Mackinac County Fair. But will a funhouse murder sour her plans?

FORECAST: FAIR WITH A CHANCE OF MURDER . . .

The Mackinac County fair is in full swing, and the air is rich with the scent of funnel cakes and the sound of carnival rides. Allie is focused on the fudge competition--another win would really put her hotel and fudge shop on the map. But she's willing to take a little break and walk through the haunted house attraction with her friend Jenn.

When they come across a body, though, it turns out not to be a prop. Soon Allie's cop boyfriend is on the scene, and the sleuthing confectioner is hunting for clues. Danger strikes too close to home when the hotel becomes the scene of a suspicious fatal accident, and Allie suspects the two deaths are connected. The case is turning into a real rollercoaster. Allie will need to hold on tight . . .

I am delighted with the characters, the setting, and the fun recipes. I really want to see where Allie and Rex go with their relationship, and how Allie fares with the hotel and her fudge shop. This is a fun and fast paced cozy mystery that would be perfect for a weekend in, under cozy blankets with a mug of hot cocoa." --Criminal Element on Fudge Bites

"Fudge Bites is full of disguises, danger, and one determined amateur sleuth. At the end of this book, Nany Coco gives a hint about which way things are leaning for Allie's love life.
