About this series
Tally Holt is thrilled to see her new replicas of vintage sweets displayed in the window of Bella's Baskets, a gift basket shop owned by her friend, Yolanda Bella. There's just one problem-the creations appear to be melting. The ladies assume the culprit is the broiling heat of the Texas sun-until that night, the store window is smashed, and there's only one thing missing: the replicas.
Tally is positively stumped. Clearly, the useless fake candies are more special than she bargained for-but why? When a rash of seemingly unrelated burglaries sweeps through the area, Tally is determined to sleuth out the answer-and stop a thief from killing more than the town's appetite . . .

- Revenge is Sweet
1
In the picturesque tourist town of Fredericksburg, Texas, Tally Holt has opened a new candy store with a vintage twist . . . but there's no sugar-coating a nasty case of murder . . . Tally Holt has poured her heart, soul, and bank account into Tally's Olde Tyme Sweets, specializing in her grandmother's delicious recipes. Tally's homemade Mallomars, Twinkies, fudges, and taffy are a hit with visiting tourists-and with Yolanda Bella, the flamboyant owner of Bella's Baskets next door. But both shops encounter a sour surprise when local handyman Gene Faust is found dead in Tally's kitchen, stabbed with Yolanda's scissors. The mayor's adopted son, Gene was a handsome Casanova with a bad habit of borrowing money from the women he wooed. It's a sticky situation for Yolanda, who was one of his marks. There are plenty of other likely culprits among Fredericksburg's female population, and even among Gene's family. But unless Tally can figure out who finally had their fill of Gene's sweet-talking ways, Yolanda-and both their fledgling businesses-may be destined for a bitter end . . .
- Deadly Sweet Tooth
2
In a darling tourist town like Fredericksburg, Texas, a vintage sweet shop offering delicious old-fashioned favorites is a perfect fit-until someone decides to debut a recipe that's lusciously lethal . . . With Tally's Old Tyme Sweets finally-well, almost-turning a profit, Tally Holt is taking one busy Saturday off to host a grand party for her parents, traveling performers who spend most of their time on the road. Tally's counting on the publicity and free treats to attract new customers. And the event is a sweet success-at least until Fran Abraham, the town's foul-tempered theater director, drops dead after a bitter confrontation with Tally's mother. Murder was definitely not on Tally's menu, but it's clear that Fran's death wasn't natural. The list of possible culprits includes not just Tally's mom, but her protective dad too. Relying on Yolanda Bella, her best friend and the proprietor of Bella's Baskets next door, for help, Tally will need to unwrap the sticky pasts and unsavory presents of everyone from her own parents to her new hires before Fran's death sours everybody on her fledgling shop . . .
