Description
As co-owners of Eastport's beloved waterfront bakery, The Chocolate Moose, Jake and Ellie know their customers expect them to cream the competition. But they're really just in it for fun, hoping to get Jake's daughter-in-law baking again. Those plans collapse when fearsome local curmudgeon Alvin Carter is murdered, and every crumb of evidence points to Tiptree family friend--and all-around sweet guy--Billy Breyer.
Billy's sisters beg Jake and Ellie to prove his innocence. After all, lots of folks had gone sour on Alvin--the only thing the retired lawyer liked better than bilking widows was swindling orphans, and several victims of his long-ago schemes still lived in Eastport. But just as the ladies begin sifting through the suspects, a series of grass fires blaze across the island, cutting off access to the mainland. Could someone be trying to hide the truth about Alvin's murder?
Now, Jake and Ellie will need all their courage--and an extra dash of that down-east Maine stubbornness--to sniff out the real killer before anyone else gets burned...

I was so excited to get approved for an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley of Death by Chocolate Snickerdoodle by Sarah Graves, as she is one of my favorite authors.
The "Chocolate Moose" is owned and run by Jake Tiptree and Ellie White, who sell cakes, cookies, brownies, eclairs, scones and anything that has chocolate in it. It is in a remote island village of Eastport, Maine. An old curmudgeon is found dead with a hatchet buried in his skull. Then Jake finds an older body. What is going on? meanwhile a lot of fires are popping up because of the drought.
I have enjoyed reading books by Sarah Graves over the years. They take place in Maine, which I have been to many years ago. It has been nice to see the changes in Jake's family, kids growing, Ellie finding happiness. Now it will be hard to wait until the next in the series comes out. This book was easy to read and was exciting. The plot grabbed it's reader, making it hard to put down.

I’ve been a huge fan of Jake and Ellie, and I was beyond thrilled when this series came out. I have a connection with Jake, and I’ve really become a fan of this series.
This investigation had me stumped and it took me a while to put the missing pieces into place.
I was glad that Mika, Sam’s wife, got to play a bigger role. I think she’s going to develop a really close relationship with Jake, and I’m looking forward to that.
I would definitely recommend this author and this series, as well as her previous series, the fixer upper mysteries.
