Fudge Bites is the seventh installment of the A Candy-coated Mystery series set on Mackinac Island and featuring fudge maker and hotelier, Allie McMurphy. It's late October and the tourist season is over so Allie is having the renovations done to the second floor and is beginning construction on the roof top deck at her historic hotel.

Allie and her friends are dressed up and ready to attend the annual Zombie charity walk, but a shortcut through the alley behind the McMurphy finds Allie following the bloody pawprints of her cat Mella straight to the lifeless body of a zombie. The dead man turns out to be the son of neighbor, Maggs, and before she knows it Allie finds herself committed to finding a murderer and the target of a serial bomber.

A fast paced plot featuring many series regulars including newlywed hotel employees Frances and Douglas Devaney, chocolate sculptor Sandy Everheart, Officer Rex Manning and Allie's ex boyfriend Trent Jessop. Allie's delightfully fluffy pup Mal and a variety of tasty fudge recipes will put you right in the mood for Fall and Halloween. And, much to my delight it seems as though the author just might have finally put an end to the dreaded love triangle.
