Lee McKinney Woodyard, her good friend Maggie, and Lee's
husband Joe are all on the Warner Pier Winter Arts Festival
Committee. They're volunteering their time, with a few
other small business owners, in the hopes of prompting
visitors to come to their small corner of West Michigan.
Lee is a wiz at working the numbers for TenHuis Chocolade,
her Aunt Nettie's chocolate shop, so being in charge of the
WinterFest budget is easy, it's being around pompous fellow
committee member Mozelle that's hard for Lee.
Part of the planned festivities is a judged art show. When
the first judge notifies the committee that he won't be
able to complete the job, some fast choices are made and
Dr. Fletcher Mendenhall agrees to take over. In a last
minute mix-up, Lee becomes the designated driver sent to
collect Dr. Mendenhall from the airport. Unfortunately Dr.
Mendenhall's been drinking and he becomes incredibly
inappropriate while Lee's trying to get them back to Warner
Pier. The weather is deteriorating as quickly as her
passenger's behavior, leaving Lee in tough situation.
Dropping him off at a hotel seems like the best choice, for
both their sakes. After Dr. Mendenhall is murdered in his
room, leaving him alone, angry, and amorous seems like it
might have been a bad choice. Especially as Lee and her
husband become prime suspects. Lee is a suspect because she
dropped him off and Joe is a suspect for trying to check on
him later. They know they didn't do it, but if they didn't
then who did? And even more importantly, why?
THE CHOCOLATE SNOWMAN MURDERS is the eighth book in the
Chocoholic Mystery series. Fans of the series will be happy
to catch up with familiar characters, but newcomers won't be
left in the dark. The connections between characters is
hinted at, and often explained, in pleasantly subtle ways.
The solution was a surprise with quite a few red herrings
toward the end. A fun, cozy Christmas mystery with bonus
chocolate trivia, this book could be your entertaining
afternoon break from holiday madness.
The scrumptious—and deadly— hardcover debut of the
national bestselling Chocoholic Mysteries.

when her husband, Joe, discovers someone has put the
visiting dignitary into a permanent state of repose...
