Heaven Lee has lived in Kansas City a long time, and she thought she knew as much as there was to know about her hometown. But when her longtime friend Stephanie Simpson starts a new business as a chocolatier after divorce, Heaven is surprised and delighted to find out that Stephanie is getting back to her family roots with her new enterprise. As it turns out, her mother was heir to the famous Foster’s Chocolates fortune, a chocolate company that is a Kansas City institution. That is, until her brothers, Stephanie’s uncles, swindled her out of her share lo these many years ago. Still, Stephanie is excited to be back in the family business, albeit in a small way with her own downtown chocolate shop, and Heaven can’t wait to learn all about chocolate. She’s got a restaurant to run, of course, and is always on the lookout for new ways to use traditional ingredients. The pair’s excitement turns suscpicious, however, when a giant blimp advertising the 50th anniversary of Foster’s is shot down almost directly on top of Stephanie’s new store, its pilot dead before he hits the ground. Is this terrible event a direct threat to Heaven’s friend’s new business? Or is it all just a big coincidence? Heaven suspects the former, and when her friend’s livelihood, not to mention her life, is on the line, no one can stop her from getting at the truth. She’ll figure out what’s going on and be back in time for dessert in Death Is Semisweet–a smart, saucy entry in the Heaven Lee Culinary Mystery series from fan favorite Lou Jane Temple. Complete with many sinfully delicious chocolate recipes!
