Pertence à sérieA Chocoholic Mystery (1-3)
Together in one volume- the first three mysteries featuring Lee McKinney and the TenHuis Chocolade store of Warner Pier, Michigan-plus the short story that started it all... The Chocolate Kidnapping Clue With her parents going through a messy divorce, a mopey teenage Lee is spending the summer working in her aunt and uncle's chocolate shop. When a wealthy customer is kidnapped she quickly discovers an unsuspected talent for sleuthing. The Chocolate Cat Caper When a high-profile defense lawyer dies after eating a cat-shaped chocolate laced with cyanide, it's up to Lee to find out who tampered with the recipe-before she ends up behind not-so-chocolate bars. The Chocolate Bear Burglary A burglary at the shop leads to missing antique chocolate molds and a dead friend-and the main suspect in the murder is Lee's troubled teenage stepson. Lee sets out to clear his name, but awakening long-hibernating family secrets might be more than this daring crime solver can bear. The Chocolate Frog Frame-Up The first customer to buy one of the store's new chocolate croakers is the town crank, Hershel Perkins-just after getting into an altercation with Lee's boyfriend Joe. When he soon goes missing, it looks like Joe is being framed for murder-and Lee must jump to his defense... Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Lee McKinney had spent summers with her Aunt Nettie growing up and learning the chocolate making/business-side so when she needed a place to get back on an even keel after a messy divorce, her sweet aunt took her in. After making a chocolate delivery to a prestigious lawyer, Lee returns to the lawyer's residence later to help out a friend by assisting in the catering for a charity event. Before the guests start to arrive, however, the lawyer suddenly keels over poisoned by a Chocolate truffle delivered earlier.
Lee feels that she needs to do everything possible to protect her aunt who not only handmade the truffle and specifically sent the package to the lawyer but also blamed the lawyer for her husband's death. Motive, opportunity were there so Lee sets out to prove her aunt innocent before she is arrested.
The main characters were very likeable and the story was cleverly crafted around the marvelous miniature Chocolate store and I will be looking forward to seeing how these characters change and grow in the future books of this series. ( )
