But when Bessie is found dead in her kitchen, only Hayley suspects that Bessie's 'heart attack' might actually be a candy-coated murder.

Turns out Bessie had more enemies than a boxful of chocolates, each one a suspicious flavor. It's sticky business juggling a job, two teenagers and finding a killer, but it's better than letting a killer find Hayley first…
