Description

An expert chocolatier is out to catch a bitter killer when a colleague is murdered at a chocolate-themed resort in this cozy mystery series debut.

Hayden Mundy Moore isn't just any chocolate expert. Known as the Chocolate Whisperer, she specializes in helping clients develop new products and revamp recipes until they're irresistible. She's bushwhacked through African jungles and haggled in exotic markets to locate the finest cacao beans. It's thrilling work but rarely dangerous—until a colleague turns up dead at the exclusive chocolate-themed Lemaître resort spa in San Francisco.

Adrienne Dowling's heart attack is blamed on an accidental overdose of the secret ingredient used in Lemaître's new line of chocolates. But Hayden can't believe that her conscientious Adrienne would make such a careless mistake. Between chocolate body scrubs, cocoa mud baths, and seemingly endless chocolate treats, Hayden starts to suspect that she, not Adrienne, was the intended target. Now finding the killer among the rival chocolatiers won't just be satisfying—it might save her life.

Includes an irresistible chocolate recipe!

        Starred review from February 1, 2015

        "Chocolate whisperer" Hayden Mundy Moore can discern single notes from complex chocolates and help clients make their candies the best. When she heads to San Francisco for the launch of Lemaitre Chocolates's new spa and chocolate line, Hayden hopes to mix some pleasure with business. Matters quickly turn bitter when a colleague ends up dead, and the death is deemed an accidental overdose of a secret ingredient used in the new product. Hayden finds this hard to believe and when faced with the strange behavior of several company executives and rival chocolatiers, plus another series of mishaps, our protagonist discovers that she may have been the intended target after all. VERDICT Chocoholics and food cozy fans rejoice! With prose as smooth and delicious as its theme, this quality debut cozy by an anonymous best-selling novelist introduces a smart protagonist with an unusual and tasty profession. Recipes complement the story.
