Willa's ex is in town. He and his girlfriend (Willa's former BFF) have opened a pop-up chocolate shop in Hope's new cakery. Of all the places they could have put a pop-up shop, they had to come to Yarrow Glen. And yes. It goes exactly how you'd think it would. But when one of their customers dies after eating poisoned chocolates, it looks like revenge might be sweeter than anyone may have thought.

I really enjoy this series and this book was among my favorite of the series so far. Every single thing that is going on in the book is serious and I was very anxious to find out how everything turned out. Sitting down to read one chapter inevitably turned into two, then three, then six. There was also a lot of humor, A. J. in his fedora, Willa with a squirrel on her head, and of course the calming cheeses!

For anyone who is a fan of cozy mysteries, this series is a must read.

Thank you to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC.
