The Chocolate Frog Frame-Up
JoAnna Carl
Chocolate Chicanery The quaint resort town of Warner Pier, Michigan, is abuzz
with preparations for the Fourth of July. Things are going
swimmingly for Lee McKinney and her aunt Nettie, as they
debut their latest confections at TenHuis Chocolade--
chocolate frogs, fish, and lizards of all sizes.
The first customer to buy a chocolate croaker is the town
crank, Hershel Perkins—only minutes after having a public
altercation in the post office with Lee’s boyfriend, Joe
Woodyard. Lee and Joe are planning a romantic cruise up
the Warner River in an antique wooden boat, but their plans
are smashed when Hershel’s canoe, the Toadfrog, is found
half submerged near Joe’s boat shop. Hershel has
disappeared—and the police presume foul play. Joe seems
the most likely suspect, but Lee thinks he’s being framed.
And it’s a chocolate clue that leads her to the killer….
