Michelle and Erica are getting into the Halloween spirit by helping create the annual haunted house to benefit the Boys and Girls Club. But their time gets distracted when a murder happens out of town, and Dylan, a teen they know, becomes the prime suspect. Can the duo find the time to help prove he didn’t do it? It was fantastic to be back with these characters again. The series regulars are fantastic, and the new characters were just as good. This book was a little different because he didn’t meet the victim before the murder, but that didn’t hamper the plot at all with plenty of suspects and clues before we reached the logical end.

Behind Chocolate Bars has some good writing, but I thought there was too much going on in the book. There are so many characters that it hard to keep them all straight (I stuck to the main ones). We get to follow Michelle as she investigates every single lead. She checks out all the various men Faith catfished, her friends, neighbors, enemies, etc. We also have Reese Everhard, the idiotic town reporter/blogger, who I would have liked to put on a catapult and send her to the next county. I do not believe ever heard of journalistic ethics (or checking her facts). The killer was expected (aka predictable) which was disappointing. I kept wanting a twist that would leave me gasping with surprise (and shock). I give Behind Chocolate Bars 3 out of 5 stars (it was okay). The characters just seemed to jump from one situation to another (too much going on) leaving the novel with a lack of flow. The readers are subjected to many chocolate descriptions in the book as Michelle makes the delectable delights for the shop. I would have preferred more time spent on the mystery. I also did not like the addition of Leo and his troubles (PTSD). It was not needed in this book. It seemed like the situation was added as an afterthought. While Behind Chocolate Bars is the third book in the series, it can be read as a stand-alone novel. I am not sure if I will read the next book in the series. It depends on the content.
