Bed-and-breakfast owner Rick Atwood agrees to help investigate the theft of Tyler Winkle’s secret chocolate recipe. But the investigation takes a turn when a man who wanted to buy the recipe is murdered. The only clue to the killer’s identity is a 17-word poem that the killer left behind.
Before the crime scene is cleared, Rick’s thirteen-year-old daughter Alex and Tyler’s seventeen-year-old niece team up to launch a shadow investigation. Concerned about the dangers of a murder investigation and the influence of Tyler’s headstrong niece, Rick tries to put his foot down.
Rick quickly discovers that the suspects in this case have more secrets than the ingredients in Tyler Winkle’s world-famous chocolate recipe. He also realizes that parenting a young teen is turning out to be harder than tracking down a killer with a flair for poetry.
