About this item
Welcome to Torte -- a friendly, small-town family bakery where the pastries are delicious ... and, now, suspicious. It's almost spring in Ashland, Oregon, and the town is preparing for the Shakespeare and the annual Chocolate Festival. Business is cookin' at Torte, and the store is expanding as Jules' team whips up crpes filled with mascarpone cheese and dark chocolate. Torte stands a chance of being this year's confectionery belle of the ball! Life couldn't be sweeter -- unless murder taints the batter. Evan Rowe, of Confections Couture, makes a chocolate fountain that would put Willy Wonka to shame, and his truffles are to die for -- literally Yes, the world-renowned chocolatier has just turned up dead ... right after sampling a slice of Jules' decadent four-layer chocolate cake.
