Two salemen come into their shop to try sell the a vaccumn cleaner. Charlotte says no but says its up to Ally. They agree for them to use the vaccumn cleaner on a 7 day trail. Then they will give back or pay for it with a discount.
But when one salesmen is found dead in the road, Charlotte and Ally decide to investigate, since the coroner said it was not due natural cause he was murdered.

The latest book in the Chocolate Centered Cozy Mystery series is absolutely fantastic! I've always loved the characters, especially Ally and her grandmother, Charlotte, as well as all the people who live in Blue River. I never like to give too much away in my reviews but I thought the mystery was great with lots of suspects and theories. Oh, and all the talk of chocolates? Yummy!! If you haven't read this series yet, I highly recommend you pick up Book 1, The Sweet Smell of Murder, and enjoy! Happy Reading!

Great story.....
Well I have read all of the books that are listed as having been written to date by Ms Cindy Bell to date. Now all I can do is wait till she writes another and read it. The author is very interesting and fun to read, the characters, the mystery, the romance all blend together to make a wonderful story.

Very good.
I like the main characters Ally and the grandmother. They make a great team
. It's nice to see such a loving relationship between them. The mystery was very good as well. Hopefully there will be future books with them. Thank you and stay well.

The con got caught
I like the plot. I am starting to dislike some of the characters. Getting the other 3 involved in helping solve crimes worked in this one, hope if they continue to help it works with the story and doesn't take away from the main characters.

Inane
Ally and Charlotte have been gradually losing my interest, but this finally did it. Geriatric bumblers, a ridiculous storyline...1 star for Peaches and Arnold being the brains of the group.

Seriously??? Had this figured out almost from the get-go!! I know it’s only a cozy, but so predictable. I give it 2.5 stars rounded up to a 3.

Cindy Bell has created a series with homey characters who are very good friends, and a sweet romance between the youngest woman and the lawman. Wonderful!

Great
Loved this series! Cindy Bell really knows how to keep you interested and just when you think you know who did it send throws a monkey wrench in and poor you are wrong. Lol
