review 1: Got this as one of the super-cheap books on my Nook from Book Bub. Read it in one sitting.It is the 2nd in the Death by Chocolate series. Because this book references the plot of the first, A LOT, I won't be reading the first (I've already figured enough of it out).That doesn't downplay this book at all.First, our heroine has a cat, Henry. Not the only protagonist that has a cat (or a pet) but I really like the way she interacts with the cat.Her neighbors are interesting. Her boyfriend a "different" cop. And her almost ex-husband a jerk. AND she is a chocolatier. What is not to like.Cozy mystery. Great dialogue. Well thought a characters.I'm in for the 3rd and 4th books in the series now.
review 2: Murder, Lies & Chocolate is an excellent follow-up boo... morek to Death By Chocolate. Like the first book it’s a good mystery told as a fun first-person story.Lindsay Powell, the owner of the Death By Chocolate restaurant and heroine of the story, is almost dating the cop she fell for the first book but her obnoxious ex won’t sign those papers and in a smaller community a police officer just doesn’t date a married woman. But it’s easy to stay involved with the police when a man is poisoned and dies right outside of your restaurant. And so a new mystery begins.If you read the first book and weren’t saying “just signed the papers and go away” of the obnoxious ex, you’ll be saying it now. But then again without the obnoxious ex Lindsay’s life would be too happy and normal to write a book about it. His greed, sleaze and name still on Lindsay’s house bring interesting danger and even more interesting characters into the story.Considering what some of my favorite treats are and the poison theme running through this series so far I shouldn’t like the books, but a little poison doesn’t stop me. It’s a fun theme for a light mystery and I do very carefully check my chocolate and my beverages. If I don’t taste any poison I try some more to be sure. ;-) less
