Death by Chocolate Malted Milkshake

De: Sarah Graves

Narrado por: Susan Boyce

The island fishing village of Eastport has plenty of salty local character. It also has a sweet side, thanks to Jacobia "Jake" Tiptree, her best friend Ellie, and their waterfront bake shop, The Chocolate Moose. This summer, Eastport's favorite lovebirds, kindergarten teacher Sharon Sweetwater and Coast Guard Captain Andy Devine‚ are getting married. The gala reception is sure to be the fête of the season, especially with a wedding-cake-sized whoopie pie.

For Jake and Ellie, the custom-ordered confection will finally reel in some much-needed profits. But the celebratory air, and sweet smell of success‚ are ruined by foul murder. When Sharon's ex-boyfriend is poisoned with an arsenic-laced milkshake, Andy is jailed as the prime suspect, and the wedding is cancelled‚ whoopie pie and all.

Then Sharon makes a shocking - and fishy - confession and ends up behind bars, too. With the fate of The Chocolate Moose at stake, it's up to Jake and Ellie to catch the poisonous predator before someone else sips their last dessert.

Fun!

I love the grandma in the Stephanie Plum. This series has a grandpa who really made the story.

Good mystery

Didn't know who killed was agsin. Love that,but when did Make get to be so fretful?

Decent listen but....

I really enjoyed the first book in the series and excused some poor choices but in this book Jake seems to just keep making poor decisions and is honestly a little annoying. No one can really be that naive. I didn't guess who the murderer was though and it was interesting to find out the motive. I feel like there were times that as a reader I wanted to yell at her and go how is this a smart decision, stop babying him (about her dad) or just tell the cops. I did finish the book and enjoyed it, but I don't think I'll be continuing on at least not with the books at full price. I enjoyed the author overall but a few words she said really rubbed me wrong, but maybe I've just been saying them wrong my entire life.

Masterful suspense!

This story is captivating! Plenty of detail to keep the listener interested. The narrator has a beautiful clear voice, with very good enunciation. Perhaps on the next book, however, she could be slightly less stilted and a little more fluid. Over all, a thoroughly enjoyable listen!

One of the truly best Cozy Mysteries

Sarah Graves and Susan Boyce are the team to beat. You are one of the best.

Love the bases of this series--Characters and Setting are beguiling . Book 2 is better then Book 1 (which was a hit). Please keep them coming.
