A Christmas Candy Killing is the first book in the Killer Chocolate series by Christine Romeril. While I am not sure I would partake of the chocolates with poison names, I have a feeling I would change my mind if I entered Murder and Mayhem run by the twins in this story. It was a charming book and was full of quirky characters and drama. I look forward to reading more in the series. I'm glad I picked up this book based on its title font reminding me of a Christmas Story.
A Christmas Candy Killing by Christina Romeril
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
What’s not to love about a bookstore and chocolate shop all in one place. Too bad it’s fictional but then I’m not sure I could eat chocolates named for poisons. The mystery and it’s characters reminded me of the Aurora Teagarden mysteries in the group meeting to discuss crimes. Jane seems like a motherly lady who’s a lot like Miss Marple. The small town atmosphere makes the suspects secrets all the more realistic and makes the discovery of the guilty party that much more difficult. The clues are unraveled well and are there in retrospect. I look forward to reading more in this series as they are published
