Story
Jake and Ellie have been through a lot together, from home repair to homicide investigation. So when they decide to open a chocolate-themed bakery, they figure it'll be a piece of cake. With Ellie's old family recipes luring in customers, they expect to make plenty of dough this Fourth of July weekend. Having family home for the holiday only sweetens the deal for Jake - that is, until the ill wind of an early-season hurricane blows up her family's plans. But as bitter as the storm is, something even more sinister is brewing in the kitchen of The Chocolate Moose - where health inspector Matt Muldoon is found murdered.

The town is full of people who see everything, say little, and know more than they'll share with an outsider.

Knock out
I love this series and this entry was no different. Jake Tiptree is an independent woman who refuses to play damsel in distress. Once again she faces her demons alone and comes out on top. The only thing I didn't like was that the local characters were not mentioned as much. I look forward to the next book in this series.

Great series and narrator!
I’ve been listening to this series non-stop. The stories are very engaging and the narrator does a fantastic job with the voices. My only issue is the author’s overuse of adverbs, particularly with words like “off-puttingly”, “gaggingly”, and “hair-triggerishly”. I was taught if you have to use adverbs then your verb isn’t strong enough. Otherwise, Sarah’s prose is exceptional!

This is a great series. I have read all of the books in the series and find that this is another solid addition. As always Lindsay Ellison does a great job portraying Jake and all of the other charactrers. If you are looking for a good cozy mystery this is it. Also try the other books in the series as well.

Thriller not mystery
Sarah Graves change her perspective in story telling from 1st person (Jake) to 3rd person telling the story from many characters perspectives. When she did this she changed from a mystery writer to a writer of thrillers. We now get all victims and villains perspectives, so we don’t get to try to figure out “who done it” instead we get to experience the insanity of psycho killers, to the agony and feelings of the victims to watch them survive and/or be resued, or to have their bodies found. But we already know the bad guy. So the emotions this invokes is anxiety, fear and sadness. When Graves was writing in 1st person she was writing mysteries and that invokes curiosity, intrigue, we’re right there with Jake in her mind trying to help figure it out. Sorry Sarah Graves, your new style is not my cup of tea. I say new with the understanding that the last novel in the Jake Tiptree series was written in 2013, and that she seems to have let the series go. Maybe others felt like I did and she wanted to write in the new style so she went on to something else.
