I was happy to find another copy of this for release.

Earlier review:
Fun! I’m not reading this series in order: read the first one, I think it was, a few years ago, and this one is the seventh. But I didn’t feel as though I missed anything important – it stands alone quite well.

Reading about chocolate does tend to make one’s mouth water! Glad I finished the book before starting my diet! 😊

The mystery was good, with an interesting cast of characters and enough plot twists to keep me guessing. Lee should be nominated for sainthood – being newly married to Joe and suddenly having the house filled with several guests whom she has to feed, in addition to her usual work at Ten Huis Chocolade…in a rare Michigan heat wave. With no air conditioning in the house, and the shop’s AC not working, tempers flare and lots of chocolate risks being destroyed. Talk about stress! And (maybe here is where I may have missed something by not reading the intervening books) new husband Joe doesn’t seem very attentive or helpful. Unless his introduction in an earlier book highlighted some of his good qualities, I don’t think he’s much of a catch – he certainly did not impress me in this book!

This was a quick, enjoyable read. I really like Ms. Carl’s writing style.
