Sweet Revenge A Ghostly Ashland Shakespear Mystery Book Three

Book Three: Sweet Revenge

At Ashland’s Chocolate Festival, revenge is a dish best served dark and deadly.

William Mills and Carol Lindsey are looking forward to a romantic weekend of chocolate tastings, wine pairings, and Shakespeare beneath the stars. But the festival’s sweetness turns bitter when a celebrated chocolatier collapses after sampling a prize confection—and is later found dead, submerged in the very thing she loved most, a vat of chocolate under circumstances far too suspicious to be accidental.

The victim had made enemies throughout Ashland’s close-knit culinary community. She collected other people’s secrets—and knew how to turn them into profit. Now someone has stolen an antique chocolate mold believed to be worth a small fortune.

As William follows a trail of secret ingredients, professional jealousy, and hidden affairs, Carol discovers that the festival’s smiling competitors are concealing grudges darker than the richest cocoa. Dante, their ghostly cat, begins reacting to something—or someone—no one else can see, while the Blue Lady’s fragmentary memories hint at another betrayal buried in Ashland’s past.

With the festival’s reputation at stake and another intended victim in the killer’s sights, William and Carol must separate bitter lies from the truth before Ashland’s sweetest celebration ends in another death.

Sweet Revenge is the third Ghostly Ashland Shakespeare Mystery, featuring paranormal intrigue, small-town secrets, slow-burning romance, irresistible food, and recipes inspired by the story.

Some grudges grow sweeter with time. Others turn poisonous.
