Lee McKinney lives a charmed, small town life along the
Michigan shoreline. She helps her Aunt Nettie run a
chocolate business, which puts her in touch with other food
service professionals in the community. Julie Singletree, a
nosy local party planner, creates an e-mail list called the
Seventh Food Group, so group members can network with each
other. Julie drives everyone nuts and clogs their inboxes
with sappy poems, quotes and stories.
Just when everyone feels like they can't cope with anymore
of Julie's annoying e-mails, she turns up dead. Lee is
arguably the second most nosy person in town, and she sets
out to uncover the mystery of Julie's sudden death. As she
inches closer to the truth, Lee and other members of the
Seventh Food Group find themselves dodging danger at every
turn until the mystery unravels and they find their rat.
This book is written with an innocent, lighthearted tone
that's the perfect "dessert" to take one's mind off the
stresses of everyday life. Assorted characters fill the
pages of the book, and just like in a box of chocolates
this assortment can make it difficult to sort all of them
out. With constant chatter about anything chocolate and
quotes about chocolate serving as an appetizer before each
chapter, you should have a big box of chocolates on hand
while devouring this book. THE CHOCOLATE MOUSE TRAP is a
sweet and satisfying treat of a book.
Chocolate-shop manager Lee McKinney has had enough of party planner Julie Singletree's cutesy e-mails. Then somebody actually kills the woman, putting everyone on her mailing list on edge. As their connections to the murder emerge, so do more attacks. Lee smells a rat-and it's not made of chocolate. And if she doesn't want to be permanently deleted, it's up to her to trap it.
