Chocolate Mousse Attack – book review
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Chocolate Mousse Attack is my first Sally Berneathy chocolate mystery, and I’m hooked. Divorced chocolatier Lindsay is awoken at 2 am by an urgent phone call from a neighbor Fred. The woman who just moved in across the street a few hours ago has sleepwalked straight into Fred’s house, wearing only a thin nightgown. Fred can’t get her out of his bedroom closet, and he needs Lindsay’s help. But when the two of them manage to get Sophie Fleming out of the closet, they discover it’s more than a little sleepwalking.
Sophie had a nightmare that Lindsay and Fred soon realize must be more than fantasy. It’s murder.
Sally Berneathy has created a very likeable amateur detective character with Lindsay, and great sidekick in Fred-the-neighbor with his old car, sober manner, and hacker’s knack for digging out secrets online. Add King Henry, the stray cat who adopted Lindsay and knows more than a feline should, and Lindsay’s boyfriend – a cop who refuses to cancel her speeding tickets – and it’s no wonder I’ve just fallen in love with Berneathy’s Death by Chocolate series.
I won’t add any spoilers, but if you like your mysteries with a touch of laughter, and a great cast of characters, you can’t do better than to check out Chocolate Mousse Attack.
