Synopsis

 

When a gang of crooks with a wicked sweet tooth hits the resort town of Warner Pier, it’s up to chocolatier Lee Woodyard to give the hungry rascals their just desserts.

A frantic phone call from her right-hand woman, Dolly Jolly, brings Lee to the scene of a break-in at the Warner Pier jewelry store next door to her business, TenHuis Chocolade. To her shock, the main suspect is Mike Westerly, Dolly’s boyfriend and the watchman recently hired to prevent break-ins. Dolly hopes Lee can help straighten out this crazy misunderstanding before Mike ends up behind bars.

Even crazier, the thieves left behind the most valuable item in the store! In fact, nothing was taken except for some snacks. It’s another series of burglaries by a group the media has dubbed the Main Street Cookie Monsters. They’ve been hitting shops selling everything from sunglasses to shoes but taking only sweets. It all seems pretty funny—until the discovery of a dead body. With Mike once again a suspect, Lee must stop one very sour killer before someone else comes to a bitter end.
