The Chocolate Mouse Trap

Description for THE CHOCOLATE MOUSE TRAP by Joanna Carl:

CORNY E-MAILS ARE MADDENING...BUT CAN THEY LEAD TO MURDER? Chocolate-shop manager Lee McKinney is so tired of "inspirational" e-mails from party planner Julie Singletree that she's ready to strangle her with the cord of her own computer mouse. But she's shocked when somebody actually kills the woman--and steals her computer. After all, the e-mail list Julie had set up was for professionals in the food and party business--people more interested in hors d'oeuvres than in homicides.

Julie's grandmother, a Michigan philanthropist, recently ordered thousands of chocolate mice from Lee's shop, TenHuis, in the exclusive resort of Warner Pier. But Lee's not the only one on the e-mail list with a tie to Julie's family. As the tangled connections emerge, so do more attacks. Lee smells a rat--and it's not made of chocolate. And if she doesn't want to be permanently deleted, it's up to her to trap it...
