1. Chocolate Worth Dying For (2013)
Maxine Peters is the brand new owner of the chocolate shop and catering business "Au Chocolat." She figures with a lot of hard work and a little luck she’ll be able to make her dream a reality. But for crying out loud, people aren’t supposed to die holding one of her chocolates in their hands. She needs to find out what happened and make sure justice is done—before people decide even chocolate isn’t worth dying for.
To do that, she’ll have to dig into the lives of some of Victoria’s richest, most powerful people. And in the process, a killer may decide the only way to stop Maxine is to kill her. There are a lot of suspects to choose from since the victim died at one of the premier social events of the season. Hopefully Maxine will be able to find the killer before she becomes the next victim!
2. A Christmas Wedding to Die For (2013)
Maxine is making the wedding cake for the Christmas wedding of the season. And it’s to be held in one of her favorite places, Butchart Gardens. But before the day is over, the bride lies at death’s door, and it’s up to Maxine to find out just who wanted Julianna dead. Could it be something to do with the rivalry between their parents’ two gaming companies? The two founders started off together, fresh out of university. At some point they’d started fighting with Julianna’s dad, Zeke branching off with a new game—a game, Amoury, Rohan’s dad, had always claimed was stolen from Zone 2 Gaming.
The two had gone on to become wildly successful in their own right, while remaining fiercely competitive. And then Rohan, for whatever reason, had quit university part way through to take an entry level job at AC Gamers, instead of finishing university and going into Zone 2 Gaming. Maybe Julianna had been the draw from the beginning. Maybe once Rohan started working there, they’d become closer working on projects together, where Julianna’s love of social translated into marketing success, while Rohan’s gaming skills resulted in a brand new game and huge success in the online gaming world.
And then they decided they were in love and wanted to get married. Tension didn’t begin to cover the situation. But was it enough to cause someone to try offing the bride?
