Murder by Death
I read cozy and historical mysteries, a bit of Paranormal/UF, and to mix it up, I read science and gardening books on occasion.
Behind Chocolate Bars (Chocolate Covered Mystery, #3)
No as good as the first two books in the series. It felt like Michelle lost some of that individuality that made her stand; she lost some of her wise-cracking nature and felt a lot more vanilla. It also felt like a lot more chocolate descriptions that could have doubled as marketing copy.
The mystery was good though and I like the direction the author has gone with Detective Lockett. Aarons isn't rushing the romance - if anything it's moving at a snail's pace - but I do think the whole sub-story line with Leo was rushed and I don't think she did any favours to PTSD with the way she neatly wrapped it all up in a bow at the end.
Generally I enjoyed the read, if not as much as I did the first two books. I'll definitely read the next one.
This storyline takes place in the weeks coming up to Halloween and culminates on Halloween night; since my original book for Set on Halloween square for Halloween Book Bingo 2016 hasn't yet arrived (damn you postal services!), I'm using this as my substitute.
