CHOCOLATE CRIME FICTION: A List

If you read my blog, you know I'm immersed in both the chocolate and mystery worlds. Chocolate is at the heart of many true crimes, but for the Chocolate Tasting for my local Sisters in Crime chapter, I decided to focus on fictional Chocolate Crime. This list is just a sampling. Be sure and let me know if I've forgotten any titles.

Many of the mysteries on this list also include recipes, and several of the authors have cookbooks of their own. You can never have too many chocolate recipes. Enjoy your chocolate reading. I'm always Dying for Chocolate. Bon Appetit!
