[Candy Store Mysteries 04] • Popcorn Treats & Deceit

**This candy shop mystery series can be read in one to two hours. It is

perfect for those moments when you are waiting at an appointment or want to

enjoy a quick read.**

Join Margaret as she investigates another grisly mystery that is far from fun

and games!

Margaret is being taught new tricks of the trade – Zach is helping her build a

website for Nichol’s Candy Store to help promote her tantalizing sweets.

Especially when Mark Sheridan appears to all shop owners both sides of in the

street with a briefcase and a proposition to demolish their premises to make

way for a large strip mall. He is met with some harsh backlash.

Even sweet gestures are sometimes hard to swallow.

Margaret grows concerned when Mark doesn’t appear to collect his chocolate

order and takes time to drop it off to his house as a good-will gesture, only

to find him face down in his living-room – dead.

This tragedy isn’t the only thing weighing on her mind. Her budding romance

with Detective David Graham is slowly wilting before the bloom – and one

sugar-coated lie threatens to end their relationship for good. The tension

proves challenging when Margaret is invited to join the investigation as

people come forward and report that Mark was not afraid to push his limits to

get what he wanted.

With evidence leading her astray and David blocking her input at every turn,

Margaret will have to fight tooth and claw to hunt down the killer before they

turn their attention on another victim. These are shaky foundations to walk

across - and a safety net is not guaranteed.
