Bewitched By Chocolate book 5 in the series that features Caitlyn Le Fey who has returned to England found out that her mother is the daughter of a witch, known as, The Widow Mags. The Widow runs a chocolate shop in the small town and Caitlyn now lives with her and is learning how to make the most delicious chocolate. The way it is described in the book makes me wish that either there was a recipe in the book or that there were samples to purchase. It sounds heavenly.
Of course in each of the books there is a murder and the people of the town usually suspect the Widow or her daughter, Bertha, who is also Caitlyn's aunt and her cousin, Evie who has trouble when she attempts to cast a spell. Caitlyn always tries to help solve the mystery and her American cousin, who she grew up with in America, Pomona shows up on the scene to assist her.
There also is a love interest, which is developing extremely slowly. Lord James Fitzroy, who is the handsome owner of the Huntington Manor. The Lord of the Manor is the major landowner in the small village and did I mention handsome and single. He seems to be drawn to Caitlyn but so far neither of them knows how to move this relationship into a romance. They are friends and keep tripping over their words when they are together, all the signs of young people in love.
In this mystery there seems to be a story about a huge black dog that is supposed to haunt the woods and the lonely dark country lanes at night. There are few attacks and some people end up dead as Caitlyn and others are trying to figure out who to catch the Black Shuck, or monster dog.
These are light entertaining books where if you are willing to suspend your disbelief and accept the power of magic you can enjoy these mystery novels and even get a surprise at the end.
