It was really good. Loved the pirate elements and the various chocolate foods that were mentioned throughout the story.

It took three books for me to realize that this was not in fact a new series but a continuation of another series. This is the reason I never connected with the characters or never understood their background. They never tell you, it says “first in series” on the first book of this “series.” I don’t know how Sarah Graves expects you to know this. I’ve read the three books and none of the characters are really likable because I don’t feel like I know any of them. I might try the first on the other series and see if I feel anything about these fictional people but so far I feel absolutely nothing. They are in mortal danger and it does nothing for me.

Death by Chocolate Frosted Doughnut” is the 3rd instalment in the "Death By Chocolate" mystery series by Sarah Graves.

I enjoy stories set in coastal locations, and the village of Eastport, Maine is a perfect setting from the description of harbour, the shops, the people. The protagonist Jake and her BFF Ellie have a wonderful friendship, always got each other’s back, plus I love her family.

There were plenty of suspects and plenty of twists and turns to keep me wanting to find out what will happen next. I did suspect the killer early on but then second guessed myself. The book was engaging from start to finish, grabbing your attention from the very beginning.

I highly recommend this series to all my cozy friends.

I requested and received an Advanced Readers copy from Kensington Books and NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
