The Chocolate Bear Burglary: A Chocoholic Mystery by JoAnna Carl

                  Lee and chocolate ride again!  The Chocolate Bear Burglary is the second in the series I like so much.
                The town has decided they will be holding a teddy bear promotion.  In an effort to participate, Aunt Nettie accepts some antique chocolate molds to be displayed in her shop.  This seems like a great idea until the shop is broken into.  Nervous, as the molds still technically belong to someone other than the antique dealer, Aunt Nettie decides to return the molds.  There is just one problem.  The antique dealer is found dead.  The person to discover her is none other than Lee’s ex-step-son, Jeff, who spontaneously arrived in town.  Of course he quickly becomes a suspect.
                Lee has quite a few things on her mind at this time.  First there is the break-in at the shop.  Then there is trying to figure out who really killed the antique dealer, because it cannot be Jeff.  Next Lee has to figure out why Jeff is actually in town, they do not exactly have a close relationship.  Also, Joe is determined to keep their relationship a secret which does not sit well with Lee.  On top of everything, she is attacked by someone on a snow mobile.  I think Lee would have a good reason to be a tad stressed.

The Doctor Blake Mysteries

                Finally!   It took a while, but I have now seen the fifth and final season of The Doctor Blake Mysteries .   I am sad to see the show end, but I think it ended on a good note.                 Dr. Lucien Blake (Craig McLachlan) and Jean Beazley (Nadine Garner) are engaged!   After running into conflict after conflict, and problem after problem, Dr. Blake and Jean are finally together.   There is just one little problem.   Lucien is still married.   His wife, Mei Lin (Ling-Hsueh Tang), has agreed to a divorce, but the law is getting in the way.   There are very few instances in which a divorce will be granted, and all will cast either one or both Mei Lin and Dr. Blake in a bad light.   Neither Lucien nor Jean will let Mei Lin be the guilty party in the divorce.   Lucien wants to take the blame instead, but ...

The Brokenwood Mysteries

Image
Image provided by Acorn TV.                Every year I eagerly await the new episodes of Brokenwood (as I call it) to come out.   That’s why it is so strange to think I have only watched five seasons and a total of twenty episodes.   I would think I would have watched more.   Every time I finish with a season, I find myself greatly looking forward to the next episodes to come.   Maybe that’s why it feels I have watched more than I actually have.                 The police force in Brokenwood can never get away from murder.   Even on their days off, Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea), Detective Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland), and Detective Constable Sam Breen (Nic Sampson) get wrapped up in a murder.                 Always having a murder to inve...

George Gently

Image
Image provided by Acorn TV.           George Gently is over.   Unlike other series, because of what happens in the last episode, I don’t see much chance of this show being revived.   Which is okay.   Even though I enjoyed this series, I think it was more important to have things end the way Gently would have wanted them too, instead of leaving things open for possible further episodes.   No, even though the ending is finite, it was, in my opinion, the best thing that could have been done for the character. Image provided by Acorn TV.         A lot of things have happened since I last wrote about George Gently (also known as Inspector George Gently ).   One of the biggest is that Chief Inspector Gently (Martin Shaw) and his partner, Sergeant John Bacchus (Lee Ingleby), were almost killed.   Gently was confronting someone in a church when John comes in to help him and they both get shot.   Aft...
