In a small town, where everyone knows of each other, a murder-mystery will bring people closer than ever before.\u00a0 Death by Chocolate Snickerdoodle is the fourth book in-series, A Death by Chocolate Mystery by Sarah Graves.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Jacobia \u201cJake\u201d Tiptree<\/strong> and <strong>Ellie White<\/strong> are best friends often finding themselves in a whole lot of trouble and together they run the Chocolate Moose in the quiet town of Eastport, Maine.\u00a0 But when a murder occurs in their small town and one of their friends is a murder suspect, Jake and Ellie take it upon themselves to investigate and solve the mysterious death before the consequences take a life of their own.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Often times, the characters set the tone for the mysteries and their manner and characterization of each character set the pace in the unraveling of clues.\u00a0 For example, loud characters often find themselves in loud situations and the book is usually filled with loud scenes and murder angst.\u00a0 The characters in this book are decent, but quiet and the scenes are slow paced.\u00a0 At first, I had a bit of difficulty engaging with the story, the focus was placed in getting to know the characters at the beginning of the book, but as the story progressed, it became easier to follow along.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The story and the mystery are good. I liked that there were several shady characters circulating throughout the mystery, it kept my attention and imagination going.\u00a0 I did feel like the story dragged on a bit.\u00a0 The main characters took several unnecessary risks, like going several times to the scene of the crime.\u00a0 I also found the motive to be a bit imaginative, but by the end of it all, it wrapped up nicely.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A good story with a good mystery and quiet characters.\u00a0 <strong>Death by Chocolate Snickerdoodle<\/strong>, (which by the way is not what caused the death of the murdered character) is imaginative and satisfying.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Patricia<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_eb0616c customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3qTw9dL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/death-by-chocolate-snickerdoodle\/id1539950037?itsct=books_toolbox&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=11l88k&amp;ct=books_death_by_chocolate_snickerdoodle&amp;ls=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/barnesandnoble.com\/w\/death-by-chocolate-snickerdoodle-sarah-graves\/1137077504?ean=9781496729217\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/death-by-chocolate-snickerdoodle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Sarah_Graves_Death_by_Chocolate_Snickerdoodle?id=4iLpDwAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As co-owners of Eastport\u2019s beloved waterfront bakery, the Chocolate Moose, Jake and Ellie know their customers expect them to cream the competition.

But they\u2019re really just in it for fun, hoping to get Jake\u2019s daughter-in-law baking again. Those plans collapse when fearsome local curmudgeon Alvin Carter is murdered, and every crumb of evidence points to Tiptree family friend\u2014and all-around sweet guy\u2014Billy Breyer.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Billy\u2019s sisters beg Jake and Ellie to prove his innocence. After all, lots of folks had gone sour on Alvin, whose popularity ranked somewhere between a toothache and the plague. But just as the ladies begin sifting through the suspects, a series of grass fires blaze across the island, threatening catastrophe. Could someone be trying to hide the truth about Alvin\u2019s murder?<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Now, Jake and Ellie will need all their courage\u2014and an extra dash of that downeast Maine stubbornness\u2014to sniff out the real killer before anyone else gets burned . . .<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/3_5-hearts.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"146\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong><br \/>Release Date:<\/strong> Feb 23, 2021<br \/><strong>Series:<\/strong>\u00a0<em>Death by Chocolate<br \/><\/em><strong>Book:\u00a0<\/strong>4<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Kensington\u00a0<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $9.99<\/p><hr \/><p><br \/><br \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Small towns carry their fair share of secrets and sometimes it takes a murder-mystery to unravel them.\u00a0 Some people hope to bury their secrets forever, but sometimes these secrets are meant to be known. In a small town, where everyone knows of each other, a murder-mystery will bring people closer than ever before.\u00a0 Death by Chocolate Snickerdoodle is the fourth book in-series, A Death by Chocolate Mystery by Sarah Graves.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Jacobia \u201cJake\u201d Tiptree<\/strong> and <strong>Ellie White<\/strong> are best friends often finding themselves in a whole lot of trouble and together they run the Chocolate Moose in the quiet town of Eastport, Maine.\u00a0 But when a murder occurs in their small town and one of their friends is a murder suspect, Jake and Ellie take it upon themselves to investigate and solve the mysterious death before the consequences take a life of their own.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Often times, the characters set the tone for the mysteries and their manner and characterization of each character set the pace in the unraveling of clues.\u00a0 For example, loud characters often find themselves in loud situations and the book is usually filled with loud scenes and murder angst.\u00a0 The characters in this book are decent, but quiet and the scenes are slow paced.\u00a0 At first, I had a bit of difficulty engaging with the story, the focus was placed in getting to know the characters at the beginning of the book, but as the story progressed, it became easier to follow along.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The story and the mystery are good. I liked that there were several shady characters circulating throughout the mystery, it kept my attention and imagination going.\u00a0 I did feel like the story dragged on a bit.\u00a0 The main characters took several unnecessary risks, like going several times to the scene of the crime.\u00a0 I also found the motive to be a bit imaginative, but by the end of it all, it wrapped up nicely.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A good story with a good mystery and quiet characters.\u00a0 <strong>Death by Chocolate Snickerdoodle<\/strong>, (which by the way is not what caused the death of the murdered character) is imaginative and satisfying.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Patricia<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3qTw9dL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/death-by-chocolate-snickerdoodle\/id1539950037?itsct=books_toolbox&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=11l88k&amp;ct=books_death_by_chocolate_snickerdoodle&amp;ls=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/barnesandnoble.com\/w\/death-by-chocolate-snickerdoodle-sarah-graves\/1137077504?ean=9781496729217\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/death-by-chocolate-snickerdoodle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Sarah_Graves_Death_by_Chocolate_Snickerdoodle?id=4iLpDwAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27035"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27035\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
