Lucy Stone, a reporter from a small town in Maine stumbles upon a murder/ alleged accident. It later turns out to be something more. While, it was a good cozy mystery, Lucy was such an unlikeable character. She was a nosy, catty, gossip who was quick to judge others. It made it hard to care for her.

Boy, these Lucy Stone mysteries can really go from zero to 100 really quick. Not in a good way but in an entertaining way.

Chocolate Covered Murder by Leslie Meier
Typical New England seaside town where in a small town everybody knows everybody.
She is a newspaper reporter and there's a lot going around in town during the winter.
Death on the ice while ice fishing, chamber of commerce meetings how to promote the town
so others will visit and celebrate Valentines Day, award to 1st and 2nd best New England
chocolate shops-both are in town and in competition with one another, returning military
man, tourists looking for a house to buy, and drug related crimes, Valentine ball to attract tourists in winter, dessert contest,
Lucy continues to gain info about things going on in town to help solve the murder while doing her regular job. Some things just don't fit.
Economy during this time is bad but people find things
beside money to pay for things to get done. Even though a lot of things are going on it is easy to keep track of everybody and what they do for a living and how they are related to.
There are a lot of mysteries as murders become solved: the title makes sense.
Really like this town, people and how they help one another. You just don't see that in today's
society is some towns. Whoever says nothing ever happens in the winter needs to read this book.
I rate it a 5 out of 5.

Sometimes for me, a book can be like creamed corn: I get it for no reason except that I see it on the shelf and want something to chew on. this book is like that, and also like creamed corn, it's cloyingly sweet with not much substance. This book is bland, but in an almost comforting kind of way.
That said, what kind of mystery book has the sleuth looking for clues without giving any hints for a keen reader to catch? The killer just kind of appeared in the last bit and then confessed to everything. Snoozeville.
