Product Description:
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.

If you're a Food Mystery junkie like me, this is one series that you can't pass up. Even though I love the tidbits on chocolate, the mystery is the main focus. I nice read, not too much violence, and it really keeps you guessing. I highly recommend to add to your library.

This title is fifth in the Chocoholic Mysteries series.
I was very pleased with the twist and turns in this book that kept you guessing as to who the murder was and why they committed the murder. I happily sat and read this book in one sitting. I'm looking forward to reading the subsequent book in the series.

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.
This wasn't my favorite book in the series, but I was certainly glad to have read it and think the series is so enjoyable that even my least favorite would be a 5!

So, you ask, where have you been? Well, there are just so many books to read and not enough time! Joanna Carl (a.k.a. Eve K. Sandstrom) has been on my list for some time and I'm glad I finally got to her. Being a Michigander myself with a couple connections on the Lake Michigan side of the state, it was fun reading about an area with which I am so familiar. I also thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Carl's style of writing and her sense of humour are quite appealing. Her other Chocolate mysteries, beginning with The Chocolate Puppy Puzzle (Dec 04), will make fun additional reading.
TCMT is written in the very first person; the setting is mid-January in the fictitious village of Warner Pier, Michigan, tucked into the Saugatuck/Douglas area of the state, south of Holland (which is mentioned frequently in the story) on Lake Michigan. One Julie Singletree, who is a bit of an enigma to the others, has been instrumental in the formation of a group called the Seventh Major Food Group. Shortly after the story begins Julie is murdered. Julie, young, attractive, and seemingly effervescent, was also a very private person. She was adept at getting details about the lives of others out of them, but she shared very little about herself, but who would want to kill her? When strange things begin to happen with the computers of the other members of the SMFG and another one of its members, Carolyn Rose, turns up dead, the strangeness of the situation builds. Lee and buddy, Lindy, set about finding the killer.
I laughed out loud on page 47 when Carl describes the things boyfriend, Joe, likes to eat: meatloaf, hot dogs and sauerkraut, porcupine balls, and even tuna casserole. These are very typical Midwestern, moderate-income family meals, and among my favorites as a child (my kids, too). Anybody remember porcupine balls??? Lee's from Texas originally, so she has broaded Joe's meal horizon with taco salad and chicken fried steak.
TCMT was fun to read with the intermittent descriptions of chocolate treats created at TenHuis Chocolade, the chocolate anecdotes and humor, the characters, and the mystery itself. Lee and Lindy get themselves in some frightening situations as the killer attempts to do them in as well.
Another good beach and porch sittin' book for summer reading. JoAnna Carl's subsequent book, The Chocolate Bridal Bash, is due out August 1, 2006. I'll be getting a copy!

This was a fun read and a good addition to the series and I'm not a chocolate fan.
