Death by Chocolate Frosted Doughnut

De: Sarah Graves

Narrado por: Susan Boyce

Everything is shipshape at Jake and Ellie’s new waterfront bakery The Chocolate Moose, especially now that the annual Pirate Festival is dropping anchor in their quaint island village of Eastport, Maine. Jake and Ellie are ready for the bounty of tourists sure to flood their shop. But their plans quickly sink when the body of celebrity-foodie Henry Hadlyme is discovered in the Moose’s basement.

Jake and Ellie are horrified, but their shock turns to dismay when Jake is pegged for the murder. Now, to clear Jake’s name and save the shop, Jake and Ellie must swashbuckle down and figure out who among Henry’s numerous enemies scuttled him in the cellar. Was it a long-ago jilted sweetheart’s vengeful relative? His long-suffering personal assistant? Or perhaps some bitter-as-dark-chocolate unknown enemy, now aboard the mysterious ship lurking in Eastport’s harbor?

Alas, dead men tell no tales, so Jake and Ellie will have to get to the bottom of the case on their own and find the real killer before anyone else is forced to walk the plank....

Oh what yummy fun awaits the reader with this clever tale of evil in the wilds of Maine.

5/5---and a great story continues

Jake and Ellie’s are up to their slothing again---to save Jake from going to jail. That's all I'm saying ---Read and you will enjoy.

Thank you Sara Graves and Susan Boyce---you make a great team--excellent series and this book is a 5/5

A fun listen!

I really enjoy the series but find it hard to believe 2 adult women could do such dumb things so often. Love the reader and her New England accent. It makes the stories so much more real.

Excellent

I love these books and the Narrator.
I can’t wait to start the next one

never fails to entertain!

Never change the narrator, she knows the characters inside and out.
Sarah Graves still has stories to tell without the stories becoming redundant!

Great book

I hadn’t realized this new series was a continuation of the Fixer Upper series. I was so delighted to learn I could continue to enjoy these characters and this charming coastal town of Eastport.
The story read quick while keeping us in the daily lives of all the characters - and introducing new ones. I would really love a Jenny - but without the little interesting holes and in a better color.
Now to go back and finish reading the Fixer Upper series. Can’t wait to see how we arrived at the Mousse.

Implausible at times

I like this series but the constant efforts by the characters to solve all crimes by themselves starts to be slightly implausible at times.

A Little Too Long

Overall interesting but action ramps up so fast and Jake is endangered or hurt just a few too many times for my taste.

Fun idea

Good story, but way too long. It got super annoying. I guess if you read others you would be more invested.

not the best

I like the books Sarah Graves write, this was not her best work. I will see if I can return it.
