The Chocolate Trap

By Jeri Massi

"OH MY GOSH THIS BOOK WAS TERRIFYING " 5 stars]In the peaceful prarie town of Peabody Wisconsin, where the cows outnumber the criminals, and the farmers' market has more square footage than the police station, a string of suicides occur. Each one features an open box of Royalty House chocolates in the room of the deceased. Yet forensics testing reveals no poisonous content in the chocolates, and some were not consumed before death.

"CHOCOLATE HAS NEVER BEEN SO TERRIFYING " 5 stars]

State Investigator Frank McKenna calls in science teacher Doc Thorson as science advisor on the investigation. The eccentric, brilliant, high-energy Doc Thorson brings along his two best science students and the capable and calm police officer Jane Benton to visit the Royalty House Chocolates Headquarters on a field trip.

They stumble across dark secrets and mysterious disappearances. And Penny discovers, in the worst possible way, the secret and total power that Royalty House chocolates have over the unwary who eat their sweet and deadly offerings.

Suspense, action, even some comedy, as Doc and his team unravel the secrets of the chocolates. A book with strong female characters, and a few twists at the end that the reader will find very satisfying.
