With this being the first in a new series, DEATH IS LIKE A
BOX OF CHOCOLATES
written by Kathy Aaron will be a delicious addition to any
cozy mystery lover's
library! Packed full of exhilarating characters this novel
is fully entertaining. Each
chapter gave you just enough to keep the pages turning
without losing any
interest. Packed with wit and just enough suspense, it is a
great start to a new
series.
Michelle Serrano has a love for making chocolate and owns
her own little
shop that is combined with her best friend, Erica Russell's
bookstore. The two are
in partnership in their little town of West Riverdale,
Maryland. Memorial Day
weekend is coming up and as they prepare for the Great Fudge
Cook-off and
Arts Festival, the local photographer was found dead in
their shop with truffles
made by Michelle. How will this affect their weekend
festivities as well as their
profits and Michelle's reputation? Is her career over just
when she was about to
get public recognition?
Michelle and Erica play detectives themselves when they felt
that their dreams
are crashing before their eyes. While the need to find who
was responsible for
their friend's murder while clearing Michelle's name is
their top priority, the two
take matters into their own hands by asking the locals
questions that may bring
them more harm than good.
What a wonderful new cozy mystery series, A Chocolate
Covered Mystery
will be! With the first book, DEATH IS LIKE A BOX OF
CHOCOLATES, written by
Kathy Aaron, it quickly caught my attention with all my
favorites, a mystery,
chocolate, and a hilarious assortment of characters! This
mouth-watering
storyline has all the appeal of a marvelous mystery series
in the making. I look
forward to see what adventures Aaron will have our two
amateur sleuths involved
in with the next book.
