4.0 out of 5 stars Finding the Motive to Free the Accused 27 Oct 2012
By Mark Baker TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover
When Lee Woodyard accidentally runs into Sissy Smith - literally - she begins to take an interest in the young woman. Four months earlier, Sissy's husband was murdered in their home, and the local gossip is that Sissy did it even though she has an iron clad alibi.

Lee hires her as the bookkeeper at TenHuis Chocolade, but that just brings Sissy's problems into the shop. And when someone else dies and Sissy finds the body, Lee knows she needs to jump into overdrive to find the killer. Can she do it?

As always, this is a fun read. The plot is paramount and is always moving forward with some clue or complication to keep you turning the pages. The characters we get to know here are quite interesting and real. Of course, Lee, her husband Joe, and her aunt and step-uncle are fun to hang around. I always love spending time with them.

Early in the series, we were introduced to some other supporting characters, and I do wish the book would slow down a bit to give them more than a brief mention and a cameo for one of them. Likewise, there was what seemed to me a big aspect of the story that was hinted at but never fully resolved.

Complaints aside, time spent in Warner Pier is always fun. I will certainly plan a return trip.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just okay! 1 Dec 2012
By samster - Published on Amazon.com

I love these mysteries and have read them all. This particular one however, was not as exciting as some of the others.
I also don't see the point in giving Lee this annoying speach problem. It really becomes irritating to read and I just don't see the relevance for the character!

4.0 out of 5 stars Typical Joanna Carl Novel 16 Oct 2012
By Avid Mystery Reader - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have read all of these Chocolate murder mystery books from JoAnna Carl. They all have about the same story line just a bit of a different setting and a bit of a different motive and way of knocking off the murder victim. This one was slightly different as Lee Woodyard (the main character) along with her husband Joe, get involved with Sissy who has been villafiled by the town residents and labeled as a murderer of her husband. Lee however hires Sissy to work at the family chocolate store as a bookkeeper at Ten Huis Chocolade. Sissy has a family that is on the eccentric side (the grandmother used to be a hippy years ago) and the father-in-law who is ex-military wants custody of Sissy's son Johnny.
This is really the beginning of the story and while I enjoyed the read (as always), I was a bit disappointed in this one as I figured out who did it (the murder of Sissy's husband) pretty early in the game. The only other thing that bothered me was that it was not totally clear what the motive was. I have a good idea but it really was not explicitly said. For these two reasons, I gave this book 4 stars vs. the 5.
