These books are fun - good mysteries, entertaining characters and great tips on organization and recipes! ( )

Decent mystery with many fun facts about chocolates. This would be good for chocolate lovers and bakers, I'm neither and still enjoyed it. ( )

The title had me at chocolate! This is another winner for Krista Davis. Sophie is asked to coordinate the Amore Chocolate 60th Anniversary party, Everything was going smoothly until the patriarch of the family turns up missing. Throw in an estranged daughter who suddenly comes back home, a murder of a chocolate competitor and a whole host of suspects and this quickly becomes a page turner. ( )

Eh. I think I might be done with this series. I don't get what she's doing with the characters and I don't care anymore either.

It took me forever to finish this one and it would take me forever to review it so I'm not going to. Suffice it to say this series and I have grown apart and it's time to shake hands and go our separate ways. ( )

Sophie Winston is working as an event planner/caterer, as the local Amore Chocolates celebrates is sixtieth anniversary. When the patriarch goes missing, and a rival is found dead in a tub, it's up to Sophie and her delightful friends to keep Old Town safe once again. I really liked how all the family connections came into play and the big reveal was quite fun. There was a bit less Domestic Diva, but it was tempered by a lot of fascinating chocolate tidbits. ( )
