Product Description:
Hollywood comes to Michigan when a film producer decides to turn a local author's romance novel into a blockbuster. Although the movie mogul's chocolate labrador is charming, Lee McKinney thinks the producer's talk is a bunch of sweet nothings-and she grows even more suspicious when she stumbles upon a dead body.

Ok, very first thing is first: I love chocolate, I love puppies and I love puzzles! So, how pleasing of a name is Chocolate Puppy Puzzle for a book?! Love it!! To top it off, this story does, indeed, contain chocolate, a puppy and a great puzzle of a mystery.
Now, with that said, Chocolate Puppy Puzzle is the 4th in the "A Chocoholic Mystery" series. I've greatly enjoyed each and every book in this series, and this one is no exception. I think that I may even lean toward saying that this is my favorite so far in the series.
The cast of characters are wonderful and quirky. First being Lee McKinney, who is the main person in the series - she is fun, smart and not afraid to do her own detective work. Next is Aunt Nettie who is a wonderful and sassy sort of lady who owns the TenHuis Chocolade where both she and Lee work. The 3rd main player is Joe Woodyard, who has come to be Lee's love interest and who is ready to take their relationship to the subsequent level (marriage) - to Lee's unease.
In this delightful edition, one of Warner Pier's residents, Maia Michaelson, has written a romance novel, based on true accounts that have taken place within the area. This brings around a flashy Hollywood producer, Aubrey Andrews Armstrong, whom no one has even heard of. He claims to be there to bring Maia's creation to life on the big screen. However, Lee suspects that Aubrey is not all that he says he is. Then when her Aunt Nettie seems to fall under his charm, Lee really kicks her "research" into full gear.
Not long after Aubrey shows up, he suddenly disappears, leaving behind his constant companion, Monte, a sweet and mischievous chocolate lab puppy.
With several of the townspeople linked to Aubrey is some way or another, no one is sure who is the cause of Aubrey's disappearance. Then there is an endeavor made on Lee's life and the mystery heats up. Will the killer be found in time and will Aubrey be found dead or alive?
With many fun and interesting chocolate trivia strewn throughout and with the author's quirky character names, this is a story sure to please. Grab a cup of rich delicious hot chocolate, sit back in a comfy chair and be prepared to visit Warner Pier, Michigan and all the lively and adventurous antics that take place.

This is the fourth title in the Chocoholic Mysteries series.
It was a bit of a stretch to include a dog in the story. The dog didn't have a serious role to play other than to make sense of the title. However, once you get past trying to figure out what is so puzzling about the puppy, you will find that this book is a nice easy read. A book you can curl up and relax with at the end of the day.

I read the sixth book very first and then purchased the very first five and I highly recommend this "cozy mystery" series as engaging, fun and even poignant and touching at times. I tend to guess the outcome fairly early with this series, but it really doesn't detract at all from the reading experience and finding out the details of how it all fits together is always enjoyable.
I read so much about those chocolates and the main character's favorites that I went ahead and ordered from the Dallas company upon which the chocolate company in this series is based. Fun! :-)

I LOVED this book. It was better than the very first two. Could hardly put it down. Carl gets more and more clever with each new story. Plus I love dogs, so Monte was a great addition to the story. I highly recommend this mystery series if you're looking for something to do on a rainy afternoon. If you're looking for books with a lot of depth and substance, this mystery series isn't for you. However, if you enjoy reading and chocolate, pick this up along with a big box of See's candies. I especially like all the chocolate trivia. I learned something about my favorite food group. Bon appetite!

Okay, I also admit was very irritated by Chapter 4 of Lee's lip stutter or idiotic word faux pas... and then was even more disappointed in a poorly written mystery plot. This is no mystery genre for mystery fans... but a thinly disguised story marketed for those who like to read "fluff" and nonsense. This is a well-known writer of OTHER books?? Good grief.
