Review # 1 was written on 2012-03-02 00:00:00 Dbs Cks First, let me say I had to downsize the rating for my new system of rating books. Now that I've finished all my Chocoholic mystery books, I do look at this story with nostalgia. It's an engrossing enough story, and I've been amazed at how much Joanna Carl has extracted from this setting of Warner Pier to generate so many stories. This time though the book is a cozy mystery the murder is quite gristly. I had no chance in guessing the murderer, and I enjoyed reading the story all the more for it.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-09-19 00:00:00 Jessica Ashcraft In this #2, we continue with character development and are introduced to Lee's ex-stepson, who manages to come to town and get in a whole heap of trouble. Lee of course is there to help. I enjoyed this entry in the series (I admit to having read ahead before reading #2, but that did not in any way deter or detract from this one; it manages to be a stand-alone read). Lee mangles her words some times; in this one as opposed to entries later in the series, she does this less, which is fine by me. I liked that Lee is getting a backbone about Joe. Joe has been hesitant because of circumstances in book 1 to be public with his relationship with Lee. Red Flag! But this is handled well in the book. Interesting little tidbits and author thoughts sprinkled in bits and pieces in the book. Kind of like recipes in cozy culinary stories. I did figure out 'who dun it' because there really was no other option. But it was well played. I will continue the series.
