Once again one of those cozy series which you find yourself in the middle of, not quite sure why, but one that seems to find its way back to your reading list each time a new book appears.
Ticking off all of the usual cozy mystery requirements, the reader follows the life of Allie McMurphy as she continues to build on the hotel and fudge business left to her by her grandfather on Mackinac Island. As the season is winding down, she once again comes across a dead body and, this time, a note addressed to her with a chess move. Not a usual player, the reference is lost on her, but with the help of the ladies at the senior center, she sharpeners her talent but not before more bodies appear with more moves and as the moves progress a definite pattern evolves. The only question is will she understand who is behind this spree before more people die.
There is more going on with Allie then the murders, which should be enough, but this girl needs to make a decision between the two men in her life, a television series filming on the island, and how she will continue to run her business through the winter months with her best friend leaving town and taking with her a revenue stream that is needed to keep business coming in so she can expand the venue for the upcoming summer season.
