A Brush with Death
Helped to Death introduces us to the charming town of Chronicle, Maine, where our protagonist, Alex McPherson (played by the lovely Brooke Bloom), has returned after her estranged grandmother's passing. Alex, a former crime reporter, left the big city life behind to take over her grandmother's bookstore. But little did she know, her new quiet life was about to get a whole lot more... murderous.
Death by Chocolate
The plot thickens when Alex discovers her grandmother's secret – she was not only a renowned bookstore owner but also a successful mystery writer under the pseudonym, Allysonberry. And as if that wasn't enough of a shocker, Alex finds a manuscript that predicts a murder that's set to happen in Chronicle – and soon! With her journalistic instincts kicking in, Alex can't help but investigate, and before she knows it, she's knee-deep in a real-life murder mystery.
A Sweet Suspect List
As Alex digs deeper, she uncovers a list of suspects that's sweeter than any chocolate confection. From her grandmother's best friend, who has a secret gambling problem, to the local chocolatier with a mysterious past, each character brings a unique twist to the story. And let's not forget the handsome detective, Mike Healey (played by the delightful Benjamin Ayres), who's as charming as he is determined to solve the case – and maybe sweep Alex off her feet in the process.
Whodunit?
Now, I won't spoil the fun by revealing the murderer (although I'm sure you're dying to know!), but I will say that Helped to Death keeps you guessing until the very end. With its clever plot twists and turns, you'll find yourself questioning every character's motives and every clue along the way.
Love, Murder, and Chocolate
But it's not all murder and mayhem in Chronicle. Helped to Death also serves up a generous helping of romance, as Alex and Mike find themselves drawn to each other while working together to solve the case. And let's not forget the delightful sprinkling of humor and small-town charm that makes this movie a perfect cozy mystery pick.

Grab your friends, or enjoy it solo with a box of chocolates (because, let's face it, you're going to want some), and get ready to unravel the enigma together.
