Chocolate Covered Murder
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
No one in their right mind would vacation in Maine this time of year, but to boost the economy, the town of Tinker's Cove is launching a travel promotion for Valentine's Day. As a reporter for the Pennysaver, Lucy Stone is assigned a puff piece on upscale Chanticleer's Chocolates, and its deliciously handsome owner, Trey Meacham. Not the best way to keep her widening waistline under control.
Soon Lucy discovers there's another tantalizing tart behind the counter. Sultry store manager Tamzin Graves is only too eager to serve her male customers. With a throng of jealous women in her wake, it's almost no surprise when Tamzin turns up dead, her body covered in chocolate. There's no sugar-coating murder, and Lucy must crisscross the snow-covered landscape as she tries to find a heartless killer...

November 28, 2011
The discovery of fisherman Max Fraser’s body under the ice of a lake in wintry Tinker’s Cove, Maine, propels Meier’s fast-paced 18th Lucy Stone mystery (after 2011’s English Tea Murder). Lucy, reporter for the Pennysaver, the local newspaper, doesn’t believe Max’s death was accidental, and soon becomes embroiled in a plot that involves two rival chocolatiers, a wealthy elderly couple from Connecticut, and plenty of local gossip. An intriguing story line compensates only in part for patches of clunky prose and unconvincing dialogue (“I hope he doesn’t have post-traumatic stress syndrome like so many returning vets”). Some readers will be dismayed by the passive-aggressive way the often prudish, self-absorbed, and sexist residents of Tinker’s Cove treat Tamzin Graves, the manager of a chocolate shop with a taste for flirting with men. Agent: Meg Ruley at the Jane Rotrosen Agency.

Dueling chocolatiers spell trouble for the stalwart citizens of Tinker's Cove. When Corney Clarke brings Ted Stillings, editor of the Pennysaver, the shocking news that Fern's Famous Fudge has fallen to No. 2 in Maine House and Cottage magazine's "Best Candy on the Coast" rankings, he hesitates not a moment before sending Lucy Stone (English Tea Murder, 2011, etc.) to interview the new winner, Trey Meacham of Chanticleer Chocolates. Unfortunately, before she can ask Meacham why he's flavored his Mucho Macho truffles, priced at $5 apiece, with beef jerky and German fingerling potatoes, she's stopped by the sight of Officer Barney Culpepper dragging Max Fraser's frozen body out of the lake. Now Dora, granddaughter to the founder of Fern's Famous, has two problems: the threat to her family's empire from Chanticleer, and the demise of her kind but feckless ex-husband, who'd promised for ever so long to come up with some money so their daughter Lily can finish college. Lucy's daughter Sara, who works at Fern's, lets Lucy in on Dora's secret: it's not the penuche but the naughty chocolates, available only by mail order, that are keeping the business afloat. Lucy lets Sara stay at Fern's but draws a line when Tamzin Graves, Meacham's sex-bomb sales clerk, tries to hire Zoe, the youngest Stone, at Chanticleer. That line, of course, doesn't stop Lucy from trying to discover whether Max met his end by accident or by more sinister means. As usual, Tinker's Covers must huddle together to protect themselves from those nasty outsiders in Meier's numbing 21st.(COPYRIGHT (2012) KIRKUS REVIEWS/NIELSEN BUSINESS MEDIA, INC.
