Into the Sweet Hereafter

Spring has sprung in the charming tourist town of Fredericksburg, Texas, and one of the tastiest attractions is a trip to Tally's Old Tyme Sweets--until a bizarre burglary leaves a bitter aftertaste . . .

Tally Holt is thrilled to see her new replicas of vintage sweets displayed in the window of Bella's Baskets, a gift basket shop owned by her friend, Yolanda Bella. There's just one problem--the creations appear to be melting. The ladies assume the culprit is the broiling heat of the Texas sun--until that night, the store window is smashed, and there's only one thing missing: the replicas.

Tally is positively stumped. Clearly, the useless fake candies are more special than she bargained for--but why? When a rash of seemingly unrelated burglaries sweeps through the area, Tally is determined to sleuth out the answer--and stop a thief from killing more than the town's appetite . . .
