Thank goodness for computers so I can write down my stories. That could be due to the fact that everybody in my family has a singing voice like a bullfrog with laryngitis, but they sure could tell stories–ghost stories, funny stories, happy stories, scary stories.įor as long as I can remember I’ve been a storyteller. When I went to bed at night, instead of a lullaby, I got a story. I grew up in a small rural town in Oklahoma where our favorite entertainment on summer evenings was to sit outside under the stars and tell stories. But that’s always a good start.Ībout the Author which I took from her Amazon page. In spite of his mundane existence, Fred possesses tidbits of knowledge about such things as hidden microphones, guns, the inside of maximum security prisons and how to take someone down with a well-aimed kick to his chin.Īs Lindsay battles the elusive stalker, poisoned chocolate, and the dead man, she will need more than a chocolate fix to survive. Secrets from Paula’s past have come back to put lives in jeopardy.ĭetermined to help Paula, Lindsay enlists the reluctant aid of another neighbor, Fred, an OCD computer nerd. Her best friend and co-worker, Paula, dyes her blond hair brown, hides from everybody and insists on always having an emergency exit from any room. Suddenly she finds herself battling poisoned chocolate, a psycho stalker, and a dead man who seems awfully active for a corpse. Lindsay’s only secret is the recipe for her chocolate chip cookies, but she is surrounded by neighbors with deadly secrets.

But someone wants her dead and uses her weak spot-chocolate-to try to murder her. It tastes good, it makes her feel good, it never cheats on her like her almost-ex-husband. Just because she is new to me doesn’t mean you might not already be reading her books because she is a USA Today Bestseller, I am happy I found her. I will let the blurb on the book explain the mystery but take my word for it, if you are a cozy fan you will want to pick up a book by Sally Berneathy. And more I will get because this author is now on my list of favorites. It was a refreshing fun mystery that is well written and keeps you wanting more.

It drew me right into the story, was a little quirky and had characters I could relate to. I love this author’s writing style and the book. I knew I was on to something because Timya reads only the best. At the same time I bought this book another friend of mine, Twin City Sinc President and Member, Timya Owen posted about it on her Facebook page. Death By Chocolate was the first book I read by this author.
