Death by Chocolate

In the glittering world of gourmet chocolate, success is sweet—but greed and betrayal leave a bitter aftertaste.

When renowned chocolatier Julien Duval is found dead in his Parisian workshop, poisoned by his own signature chocolate, Detective Claire Reynolds is called in to solve the case. As she delves into the dark underbelly of the competitive chocolate industry, Claire uncovers a web of jealousy, rivalry, and hidden secrets that stretch far beyond a simple culinary empire.

With a cast of suspicious characters—Julien's estranged wife, an ambitious apprentice, and a rival chocolatier on the verge of financial ruin—everyone seems to have a motive. But as the investigation deepens, Claire learns that Julien's perfect life was anything but, and the truth behind his murder is far more twisted than anyone could have imagined.

In Death by Chocolate, betrayal is as rich as the chocolate itself, and Claire must navigate a world of indulgence, deception, and deadly ambition to uncover the killer before they strike again.
