Summary: Memorable characters, clever mystery
Comment: This is the best yet of JoAnna Carl's Chocolate Lover's Mysteries. The plot moves along briskly, and there are enough clues that the identity of the murderer doesn't come out of left field, which is one of my biggest pet peeves in a mystery.
Lee, Aunt Nettie, Joe, Chief Jones and the other inhabitants of Warner Pier feel like old friends by now, the Chocolate Chat tidbits are always interesting -- and best of all, Carl has cut back on the incidences of Lee mixing up her words when she gets flustered. This annoying trait was way too frequent in the first book, less evident in the second, and only occurred a few times in "Frog." Carl is much too good a writer to have to rely on such gimmicks!

Summary: A Large Chocolate Bill....
Comment: JoAnna Carl's chocolate mystery series just keeps getting better. "The Chocolate Frog Frame-Up" is the third and latest in her series and finds Lee McKinney defining the boundaries of her relationship with Joe Woodyard.
When Joe has a "postal" altercation with Hershel Perkins - "not the sharpest knife in the drawer" - Joe becomes the prime suspect when Hershel is killed.
Lee "stands by her man" and immediately sets out to prove Joe's innocence.
The only problem with reading this series is that I HAD to have chocolate. I turned to the Morgen Chocolate website (the chocolate company the author has based her series on) and promptly ordered over $200 worth of chocolates for Easter! JoAnna Carl should definitely get a percentage of my order!
"The Chocolate Puppy Puzzle" is due out in Fall 2004. I will be the first to reserve my copy from Amazon.com!

Summary: Another visit to the shores of Lake Michigan
Comment: Lee McKinney is building a new life for herself, working at her Aunt Nettie's chocolate shop in Warner Pier, Michigan. An old acquaintance from high school, Joe Woodyard, is showing interest in Lee and he asks her to accompany him on a romantic dinner and river cruise. Unfortunately Joe has a run-in with an eccentric man, Hershel Perkins, who accuses him of illegally tearing down an old root beer stand. When Hershel's canoe is found near Joe's place, the police suspect there may have been some foul play on Joe's part. While Lee and Joe are trying to find out the truth, they have to dodge attacks from someone in a car and then a boat, and Joe's life is seriously threatened. This is the third book in this charming series and the enjoyable mystery is interspersed with interesting facts about chocolate. It is recommended reading.
