Playing With Bonbon Fire
Playing With Bonbon Fire: A Southern Chocolate Shop Mystery | Dorothy St. James
5 posts | 5 read | 4 to read
Chocoholic Charity Penn must smoke out the killer to stop her newly inherited beachside chocolate shop from going up in flames in Dorothy St. James’ decadent follow-up to Asking for Truffle. Chocolate shop owner Charity Penn is finally settling into life in the quirky South Carolina seaside town of Camellia Beach cooking up chocolate treats. She’s even helped organize the town’s lively beach music festival which has brought rollicking crowds eager to dance the Carolina shag. That is, until one of the band’s lead singers is found dead beside a beach bonfire. While also trying to balance the amorous attention of music star Bixby Lewis, in town for the festival, and her quest to perfect a new hot flavored bonbon, Charity dives into the investigation. Though it’s more spice than sugar when she discovers a threatening note, comes across decades of age-old secrets, and Bixby comes into the line of fire when a gas grill explodes on the deck of a beachfront house. Now Charity must turn up the heat and catch the killer before her chance melts away in Playing With Bonbon Fire, the delightful second Chocolate Shop mystery served up just right for fans of JoAnna Carl and Joanne Fluke.

I love that the engineer is a woman. I am so happy the default wasn't male.

A cozy mystery set in a tiny southern beach town... with lots of CHOCOLATE and included recipes. Yes, please!

I enjoyed the descriptions of this tiny beach hamlet, the issues with small town living where everyone knows everyone, and the characters that inevitably flock to such towns in search of perpetual sun and a laid back lifestyle. Living in such a town myself, it resonates. Seriously, I am watching such characters out my window as I type.

Pamwurtzler That sounds delightful!! 7y
