News of the death hits Amberlon, South Carolina faster than Annie anticipated. Aunt Bridge's lover was being investigated for embezzlement. Police suspect Aunt Bridge was involved, and worse that she's hiding stolen money. With Aunt Bridge's reputation in tatters, Annie can't worry about who has been leaving gifts of chocolate on her doorstep. Are the chocolates poison or is this about something else?
Then there's Stacy, who's fallen for another older guy. Annie thought she had Stacy distracted with her romance book club, but vindictive ladies with connections are out to destroy it.
