Fred, owner of world-famous Contessa Chocolates, has been murdered while relaxing in his Barca-lounger. As Fred’s right-hand woman, stepdaughter Candace McCready was promised she would inherit the business. 

​

Well, big surprise; Fred changed his mind and left it to Gabe, the son he disinherited and Candace’s first love. 

​

The only good news is that Fred left Candace the Recipe, the secret to the company’s billion-dollar sales. The bad news is that the Recipe has mysteriously disappeared. 

​

Now the race is on as bumbling detectives, Candace and Gabe, investigate the suspects who could be any one of Fred’s five ex-wives, his brother Mr. Toad, and his son, the Tadpole, or even, gasp, the butler.

​​

Will former sweethearts Candace and Gabe find the Recipe and identify the killer before the killer finds them?
