A Chocoholic Mystery #11
BY JOANNA CARL
BY JOANNA CARL
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Indulge in another Chocoholic mystery in the national bestselling series.
Lee McKinney Woodyard discovers a dusty trophy inside TenHuis Chocolade that belongs to her aunt Nettie and her old high school singing group, the Pier-O-Ettes. It’s a trophy that brings back terrible memories of an unsolved murder years ago.
Before Lee takes aim at the past, someone is murdered in the here and now. Lee needs to keep her eyes on the prize, hoping the trophy is a clue to finding the killer—before she’s a target herself.
ABOUT THE CHOCOHOLIC MYSTERIES SERIES:
All the Chocoholic Mysteries feature Lee McKinney, a Texas beauty queen transplanted to a Michigan resort, where she is business manager for TenHuis Chocolade, a business owned by her aunt, Nettie TenHuis.Nearly six feet tall and a half-Dutch natural blonde, Lee is often under-estimated because she tends to get her “tang toungled” when she’s nervous. She’s a direct descendant of Mrs. Malaprop.
In addition to a mystery, the books feature a behind-the-scenes look at the business and art of making fine, European-style bonbons, truffles and molded chocolates.
The setting of the Chocoholic books is the fictional resort town of Warner Pier, Michigan. Set on the shore of Lake Michigan, Warner Pier’s quaint atmosphere and gorgeous beaches draw thousands of tourists and summer visitors each year. Many of the visitors are wealthy. Many come from families who have owned summer homes in the area for a hundred years. New housing developments have attracted professionals who commute to Holland or Grand Rapids. The 2,500 “locals” are employed in tourism or in growing peaches, apples, grapes, and other fruit – a business still important to Warner County, even as the area loses its original rural character.

Chocolate! That always gets my attention. On the shore of Lake Michigan is another thing - I love books set near water plus I've read a few in this series and really like it.

I would love to read Let's Get Cozy: The Chocolate Castle Clue, and this book sounds like a book that would be great to read sitting by the fireplace and nibbling on chocolate at the same time.
Thanks!

From her website, I noticed that her grandmother liked watching Gunsmoke because they had a moral. I loved that she told about that. It makes me want to read her books even more.

I like that it's about a murder from the past but also a current murder. It's like a two for one mystery!

I thought it was interesting how Eve picked the middle names of her three children, Betsy Jo, Ruth Anna, and John Carl to come up with her pen name. “JoAnna Carl”

What makes me interested in this book is that it's a cozy mystery and the main character is like Mrs. Malaprgp---what fun!
