An enjoyable short murder mystery, about 76 pages. I liked the beginning of the book best, which took place at the chocolate shop - yum! This is the first book that I've read in the series. Nikki is an amateur sleuth who helps her boyfriend, Detective Hawk Bailey, solve murders. At first his name was only given as Hawk so I didn't know if it was his last name or a nickname. Some drama in the book with Nikki's son's older girlfriend. The murder didn't happen right away, almost halfway through, but when it did it was easy to get interested in. The victim wasn't a nice person so there could be lots of suspects. Interesting characters; the main characters are likeable, Tori too. I would be interested in reading more stories by the author in this series and her other ones also.

Oh the joys of the holidays. 😊 Nikki has alot going on this Thanksgiving. Her son is coming home, nice. 👍 She's introducing Hawk to her son for the first time, nice. 👍 Then comes the bomb, her son is bringing his girlfriend. 😯 Well, okay, that's not so bad. Throw in a murder case and well you just might decide to skip the holidays next year. 😉I'm pretty sure I would. 😄

I really enjoyed this book. It was cute and funny. It was sad someone has to die. It is enjoyable to see the way the characters interplay with each other.
