No visit to Paradise, Colorado, is complete without a stop at Divinity Candy Shop for a taste of heaven. Owner Abby Shaw inherited Divinity from her Aunt Grace—and took the opportunity to leave corporate law and her cheating husband. Now she spends her time serving up delectable treats, and performing the occasional deductive feat...

Abby's life is sweet. She's settling into running her candy shop, dealing with her busy-body family, and maintaining a solid-if-slow relationship with local police detective Pine Jawarski. But Abby's smooth sailing soon turns into rocky road when a friend asks her to audition for a production with some considerably talented locals. Out of curiosity, Abby pops her head into the chaotic audition—and finds a dead star center stage. Now she needs to find the true culprit and clear her friend's name before her newfound happiness is totally fudged...
