    Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2023

    Where is it??
    The editing, spell checking, grammar, word usage gets worse with each "" book" now, those these are really booklets. I enjoy the stories, however for me, and I am sure many others the lack of proper editing destroys the flow of the read!! Laziness, sloppiness, indoctrination instead of education, who knows? This author needs to do a better job of self editing!

    If the problem, (AND, I believe it is the problem) is indoctrination instead of education, all you authors need to find some good teachers and actually learn the English language, grammar, spelling, word usage, sentence structure, pronouns from nouns, verbs from adverbs, what a dangling participle is etc., since you make your money from the power of words and ignorance of the language you use, laziness, sloppiness, and perpetuating said ignorance is just not acceptable! Ignorance and the perpetuance of it is the bane of what is happening to our country AND it's ruination.

    Having said that, the series and characters are enjoyable. Perhaps, though, you could have them find the victim alive once in a while.

    This book has so many people from all the other book. That show up to help solve the mystery. Get the feeling you know all the people in the mystery. You never know the ending and who done it until the very end. This will hold your interest and you will not want to stop reading this book. I can not way for another book.

    Claire. Nicole and Robby are so excited Chocolate Dreams has been given the opportunity to make the desserts for a prestige’s wedding in Boston. Nicole’s boyfriend Ryan is a neurologists and Claire’s boyfriend Ian, is a Boston detective. So when Bonnie Lyons shows up on Claire’s doorstep begging for help locating Jade Lyons, her daughter missing from Whitemore College in Smithtown, Claire after talking to Ian agrees. Bonnie has an older daughter Jeena who lives in NYC and they have no idea why Jade is missing? The more questions Claire and Nicole ask, the feeling the young woman is dead and when one of the men in Jade’s life turns out to be the brother of the family they are doing the wedding desserts for, the plot thickens. I have to agree with other reviewers, the story just felt a little off, but still enjoy reading about Claire and friends.
