When chocolate turns lethal, ghosts—and secrets—refuse to stay buried.
A week of chocolate tastings. A charming Oregon town. And absolutely no plans to solve another murder.
William Mills and real estate dynamo Carol Lindsey arrive at the Ashland Chocolate Festival hoping for indulgence, relaxation, and perhaps a little romance. Between wine pairings, theatrical events, and far too much chocolate, this is supposed to be a peaceful getaway.
But when a famously competitive chocolatier falls ill—and is later found dead in a most unfortunate chocolate-related accident—the festival takes a troubling turn.
With Detective Dana Argent already on edge, William’s unusual ability to sense the restless spirits of Ashland once again proves impossible to ignore. The Blue Lady of Lithia Park stirs, an antique chocolate mold vanishes, and long-simmering rivalries bubble to the surface. Assisted by a mischievous ghost cat and Carol’s sharp instincts, William soon realizes that someone at the festival was hiding a dangerous secret.
As clues emerge through whispered hints from the past, cozy kitchens, and Shakespearean misadventures, William and Carol must uncover the truth before the festival—and Ashland itself—are left with a bitter aftertaste.
Sweet Revenge is a charming paranormal cozy mystery filled with small-town charm, gentle romance, theatrical flair, and just a dash of ghostly mischief—perfect for readers who like their mysteries clever, comforting, and lightly supernatural.
