I am only just starting this book and it's awful.

The Chocolate Castle Clue (2011)
This book was a great mystery. It always kept you on the edge and was super intriguing. When I was reading it I couldn't put it down.

The Chocolate Pirate Plot (2010)
Another cute cozy mystery in a series. I read one that I really enjoyed – this one I didn’t like as much. I think because it got solved quickly at the end and didn’t flow as well with the clues throughout the story. Lee is the manager of Ten Huis chocolates in Warner Pier so there are some ref...
The Chocolate Cupid Killings (2009)
I really enjoy this series. Yes, it's partly because my husband's family is from the same part of Michigan where the series is set so it feels familiar. But mostly it's because Carl manages to write books which are light without also being fluffy. They're not gory or graphic and all the relations...
The Chocolate Snowman Murders (2008)
Chocolate makes a highly popular theme within the popular cooking mystery genre. THE CHOCOLATE SNOWMAN MURDERS is well written, fast paced, and easy for me to relate to. The death of an obnoxious, drunken official for the Christmas art show is not a grievous event except to the committee member w...
