A Crime of Passion Fruit

About the book

Torte Takes to the High Seas

Torte, the beloved family bakeshop in the small town, is embarking on a new adventure out at sea where a shocking murder is set to rock the boat...

Jules Capshaw is facing a major change as Torte is on the verge of becoming a luxurious pastry paradise instead of just a cozy café. On the other hand, her ex-husband Carlos is reaching out to her, hoping she will join him on his cruise ship to showcase her delectable desserts. Despite her reservations about reentering the world of cruise ships with Carlos, the allure of a free trip is too tempting to resist. Little does she know that a sinister surprise awaits her...

Instead of sunbathing and sipping cocktails on the deck while creating mouthwatering treats like sea-salted chocolates and flambeed pineapple, Jules finds herself in a treacherous situation. The discovery of a dead body onboard raises numerous puzzling questions: Why is the young woman unidentifiable to anyone else on the ship? And how can Jules assist Carlos in maintaining calm among the passengers with a murderer on the loose? Feeling overwhelmed, Jules contemplates abandoning ship. Can she crack the case without delving too deep into danger?
