Fatal Chocolate Obsession (Death by Chocolate Book 5) Kindle Edition

by Sally Berneathy (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars (1,220)
A bouquet of roses, a bottle of wine, a crystal butterfly…and a dead man in the alley behind Death by Chocolate. Gifts for Lindsay, left in the middle of the night.
Is her ex-husband Rick between girlfriends and pursuing her again? Did he leave the roses and wine? He has done the out-of-season Santa Claus thing before. But when the crystal butterfly appears, Rick is in the hospital after a brutal attack leaves him near death.
If not Rick, then who? Is it someone she sees every day? The tall man who refuses to look her in the eye? The short man who looks her in the eye too long? The skinny man with crossed eyes who might or might not be looking her in the eye? As the body count rises, Lindsay begins to see danger everywhere. Lindsay, Fred and Trent must catch this psycho stalker before someone else dies. Not bad enough he kills people. He also murders the English language in the horrible poems he leaves for her.
Butterflies are free and so are we.
Come fly away with me for all eternity.
I’ll shelter you from harm,
and always keep you safe and warm.
Anyone who troubles thee
will feel the wrath of me.

About the Author

I grew up in a small rural town in southeastern Oklahoma where our favorite entertainment on summer evenings was to sit outside under the stars and tell stories. When I went to bed at night, instead of a lullaby, I got a story. That could be due to the fact that everybody in my family has a singing voice like a bullfrog with laryngitis, but they sure could tell stories-ghost stories, funny stories, happy stories, scary stories. For as long as I can remember I've been a storyteller. Thank goodness for computers so I can write down my stories. It's hard to make listeners sit still for the length of a book! Like my family's tales, my stories are funny, scary, dramatic, romantic, paranormal, magic. Besides writing, my interests are reading, eating chocolate and riding my Harley. I have two ongoing mystery series, Death by Chocolate (Death by Chocolate; Murder, Lies and Chocolate; and The Great Chocolate Scam, Chocolate Mousse Attack, and Fatal Chocolate Obsession) and Charley's Ghost (The Ex Who Wouldn't Die, The Ex Who Glowed in the Dark and The Ex Who Conned a Psychic). I also sold fifteen romance novels ranging from comedy to dark suspense under the names Sally Carleen, Sally Steward and Sara Garrett. For those novels, I won several awards including National Readers' Choice, Romantic Times Best Silhouette Romance and two Rita finalist slots. Most of the Silhouettes are available as e-books, and I have e-pubbed six of the out-of-print single titles. Contact information is available on my website. I love to talk to readers! And writers. And riders. And computer programmers. And teachers. And gardeners. And dogs. And puppets and poets and pirates and pawns and kings. Okay, I just plain love to talk! http: //www.sallyberneathy.com

    5.0 out of 5 stars Mysterious gifts, a series of murders, and a witty chocolatier.
    Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2025
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Lindsay’s ex-, Rick, is at it again, leaving mysterious gifts to win her back. She is having none of it. When people Lindsay knows are murdered and one of the gifts arrives while Rick is in the hospital, the presents take on a more sinister aspect. Lindsay must rethink who might be leaving them, and whether they are related to the murders. Is she next?

    Lindsay’s cop boyfriend, Trent, and her puzzling neighbor, Fred, are determined to protect her and find the murderer. The plot takes unexpected twists, which kept me intrigued. It’s more intense than the previous books without losing any of Lindsay’s wit, her cat’s quirks, or Fred’s mysterious ways. Things escalate when she provides temporary shelter in her home for a woman and her rowdy children fleeing abuse. Despite the intensity, I enjoyed many laugh-out-loud moments and look forward to the next book in the series.

    Great book, great series and a great author. She did it again and put out another wonderful mystery with amazing characters. Never a dull moment with the mystery, wit and humor and of course a little romance thrown in. A great read and whoever likes cozy mysteries will love this book. I would also get the first 4 in the series and read them all if I were you!!! You can't go wrong with reading Sally's books.

    Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2015

    I love Sally Berneathy's writing, and especially this series. It pains me to say it, but this book is not quite as good as the earlier ones. It is merely very good as opposed to great. That said, it's still a wonderful read. It's hard to inject quirky humor into a mystery. Ms Berneathy does a fine job of it. It's probably best to start the series at the beginning, but this makes sense even if you start here. I eagerly await any more books Sally Berneathy would care to write for me to read, regardless of whether it is in this series or not.

    Wow! Once again Sally Berneathy has hit it out of the park with this book. Same loveable characters, murder, intrigue, and...Well, I will let you figure the rest out! I love how all of Sally Berneathy's characters are so well developed and each one is so very different.

    If you haven't read any of the "Death by Chocolate" series, then do yourself a favor and start now. You can start at the first book and read forward (that would be my choice) or you can start with this book since it really will stand alone and you won't be confused. If you start at this book, be prepared to "crave" all of the other Chocolate books.

    There are also some very yummy chocolate recipes at the end of each book! If you love chocolate and love to read, then this is the series for you. Have fun and enjoy the journey!

    This was a ton of fun to read, and now I can't wait for the next installment of Death by Chocolate. The entire series has been a blast to read, and totally laugh-out-loud funny. Sally Berneathy is a gifted humorous writer who can spin a fun and witty mystery story to beat all. Be prepared for the looks and stares of the other people on the beach as you giggle, laugh, and howl out loud with the delightful dialog and crazy antics of Lindsay and her neighbor Fred, and especially Lindsay's cat King Henry who steals the show every page he strolls through in the book. You can never go wrong with chocolate - especially when Berneathy shares her killer chocolate recipes. Fun and yummy! GREAT series for the beach.
