Welcome to Litsy!

In honor of #sharkweek, I‘m posting the only shark book I actually own. I am not yet sure what kind of shenanigans a chocolate shark can get into, as I‘m saving it this for when I need a palate cleanser. It looks like a cute story. Aside from this and Jaws, I am completely oblivious about fictional shark books. Do you have any good shark story recommendations?

Dollycas‘s Thoughts

As a confirmed chocoholic, I have been all-in on this series from the very beginning. Lee and Nettie are two of my favorite cozy characters and I am thrilled their stories are continuing. I love the relationship they have with the men in their lives.

I find cozy mysteries fascinating! I can‘t handle really scary, suspenseful mysteries, so cozy is right up my alley. I LOVE the humor - the puns are real, my friends! 😂 My friends are getting used to me halting all conversation to read a new cozy title out loud and then I laugh and laugh and laugh! Such fun!

The Chocolate Shark Shenanigans is the first cozy mystery I‘ve read and I‘m pleased to say it went well. [Review continues in comments]

One of the greatest joys in life is the cozy mystery genre! I think it‘s hilarious that genres exist like “cozy bookshop mysteries,” “cozy tea shop mysteries,” “cozy B&B mysteries,” and now, “cozy chocolate mysteries!” 😂 Whenever I come across a new one, I run across the house and read the title to my roommate, with unabashed glee! #thechocolatesharkshenanigans #joannacarl #cozymysteries #booksbrewsandbooze

Fun fact: Ferrets are sometimes referred to as “carpet sharks.” So it makes sense that one of my carpet sharks would steal a Hershey Kiss while I was trying to take this photo! She walked over, picked it up with her mouth, ran away. So rude!

I wasn‘t familiar with this series until I stumbled upon this book. I hear the books can be read as standalones so I think I‘ll be fine starting here. Have you read any of the other books from the series?

I liked how well Lee and her husband worked together. It was clear that there was tension with the discovery of the gun and the body but the story still stayed light, humorous, and had its fair share of shenanigans. It was a pleasant read but it didn‘t grab my interest as much as I was hoping it would. Although, I liked how though the murder was present-day the roots for everything taking place was deeply planted in the 1950‘s.
