Criminal Confections (A Chocolate Whisperer Mystery #1)
Mass Market Paperback, 352 pages
Published January 27th 2015 by Kensington
Goodreads synopsis: Hayden Mundy Moore is an expert on everything chocolate, helping clients develop new products and revamp recipes until they're irresistible. But sometimes, a dash of murder finds its way into the mix. . .
I enjoyed the setting and general theme of this book. It was interesting to follow a lady who was an expert at chocolate. I had recently been buying chocolate, the dark kind, with 70% of cocoa right before I started reading this book. It made me relish the chocolate a bit more than I would have before reading it.
This mystery was intricate but I did figure out whodunit before the end. Yay me. But it wasn't obviously planted for you to discover the culprit. You had to work at it and pay attention. I did want Hayden to meet up with her evasive phone pal/attorney before the end of the book, but I am hoping they meet or she gets to see who he is in book two of the series.
I am not sure how many of the characters will transition into the book series as a whole but this author has created a wonderful world filled with interesting and eclectic characters. I think this series will be very successful. I just loved the book. Please pick this one up if you are a cozy mystery lover.... and even if you're not, you'll love this one!!
