And between chocolate body scrubs, cocoa mud baths, and a non-stop frenzy of chocolate-based treats, Hayden starts to suspect that she, not Adrienne, was the intended target.

But when Lema\u00eetre\u2019s head chocolatier, Adrienne Dowling, keels over dead at the opening reception, the head of a rival company falls (is pushed?) to his death, and a series of unfortunate events starts to plague Hayden, herself, our heroine is forced to wonder if she\u2019s about to become the third dead bird in this scenario.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<strong>Criminal Confections<\/strong> \u2013 the first in <strong><em>Colette London\u2019s<\/em><\/strong> new <em>Chocolate Whisperer Mystery<\/em> series \u2013 is an entertaining if uneven read. The pace starts out zippy and the premise is fun, but once the setup is accomplished, <strong>Criminal Confections<\/strong> begins to suffer from bloat. The plot gets murky, the drama becomes soapy and manufactured, and too much ink is spilled detailing Hayden\u2019s crazy conspiracy theories. London recovers a bit in the third act, but I\u2019m forced to dock points for an unrealistic and convoluted ending.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0Generally speaking, London\u2019s created a lively and winsome cast to populate her fictional universe, but a few of her characters could use some work. Hayden\u2019s BFF Danny feels flat and underdeveloped; I get the impression London wants him to be a dark, mysterious bad boy with mad sex appeal, but she doesn\u2019t do enough to earn that image. Lema\u00eetre\u2019s founder Bernard\u2019s Dr. Jekyll\/Mr. Hyde routine feels more cartoonish than menacing. Mystery fans might take exception to Hayden\u2019s questionable detective skills; she\u2019s slow on the uptake but quick to jump to (often stupid) conclusions, and her propensity for crime-scene contamination can be rage-inducing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0While Hayden\u2019s narration is initially one of the best things about <strong>Criminal Confections<\/strong>, it ends up becoming one of the worst. At first, I was charmed by her goofiness, her snark, and her frazzled asides; these quirks quickly become intrusive, though, making Hayden seem manic and detracting from the flow of the story. I get that this is probably London\u2019s attempt to make a smart, strong, stubborn, independent protagonist seem a little more relatable, but she went overboard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0Narrative-voice issues aside, London\u2019s prose is witty and sharp and she manages to pack her tale with esoteric and obscure facts about chocolate without ever employing the dreaded info dump. And <strong>Criminal Confections <\/strong>contains so many mouthwatering confections that even the most chocolate-indifferent among you will be hankering for the stuff before Hayden\u2019s adventures are through. The chocolate-studded recipes at the book\u2019s end are only ganache on London\u2019s cake.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/22245473-criminal-confections\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/goodread-logo.jpg?resize=210%2C86\" alt=\"goodread-logo\" width=\"210\" height=\"86\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Reviewed by<\/em><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u00a0Kat<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/3.5_star_blog.jpg?resize=141%2C60\" alt=\"3.5_star_blog\" width=\"141\" height=\"60\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00M4ASPPG?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=thesea0f-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00M4ASPPG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/amazon-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"amazon-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=4jojKl08wnk&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=266972.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=8432&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fsearch.barnesandnoble.com%252Fbooksearch%252Fisbninquiry.asp%253Fean%253D9781617733468\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/bandn-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"bandn-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/lookup?isbn=9781617733468\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/iBooks_Icon.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"iBooks_Icon\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=4jojKl08wnk&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=290193.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=9309&amp;RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kobobooks.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.html%3Fq%3D9781617733468\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/kobo-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"kobo-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/search?q=9781617733468&amp;c=books\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/icon-google-play.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"icon-google-play\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-15672\" data-postid=\"15672\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-15672 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hayden Mundy Moore is an expert on everything chocolate, helping clients develop new products and revamp recipes until they&#8217;re irresistible.
