Death By Chocolate: A Savannah Reid Mystery, G. A. McKevett, Thriller, Suspense . "Death by Chocolate" is the eighth book in the Savannah Reid Mystery series by G.A. McKevett, featuring a private investigator who must solve the murder of a gourmet cook known as the "Queen of Chocolate." The story combines elements of mystery and humor as Savannah navigates through various suspects to uncover the truth. When gourmet cook Lady Eleanor, a.k.a. "The Queen of Chocolate," is murdered under the watchful eye of curvaceous P.I. Savannah Reid, Savannah, with her reputation in tatters, must sift through a vast array of suspects to catch a killer with a sweet tooth. Business has been a little slow at the Moonlight Magnolia Detective Agency, but full-figured P.I. Savannah Reid doesn't have time to drown her sorrows in a box of double-chocolate truffles. She's too busy watching the Gourmet Network--and drooling over the sinfully scrumptious confections that Lady Eleanor ("The Queen of Chocolate") whips up on-air. But someone isn't sweet on the Queen's charming chatter--and wants her to hang up her oh-so-quaint apron--for good. . . When Savannah hears that Lady Eleanor's been getting death threats, she jumps at the chance to be her round-the-clock bodyguard. It's a great chance to meet her idol in person--and maybe pick up some free chocolates, too! But her sweet dreams melt away the minute she meets Lady Eleanor. The woman is as rotten as last year's Valentine candy--and stingy with the chocolates to boot! After a few miserable days of her boss's put-downs and pettiness, Savannah finally understands why someone wants to put an end to Her Majesty's reign. But when the Queen of Chocolate bites into a chocolate and drops dead in the middle of her own live TV show, Savannah is horrified. After all, it was her job to protect Lady Eleanor--and now thousands of traumatized chocoholics know how horribly she failed. Talk about bad for business. If only to save her own reputation, Savannah has to figure out who's to blame for the Queen's untimely (and very ungraceful) demise. . . Condition is Brand New.
