Murder, Lies and Chocolate (Death by Chocolate Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Sally Berneathy (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars (1,686)
Book 2 of the USA TODAY BESTSELLING Death by Chocolate Series.

Rodney Bradford comes into Lindsay's restaurant, offers to buy her small house for double its value, eats her brownies, and drops dead on the sidewalk in front.

Next her almost-ex-husband offers to sign the divorce papers, but only if she'll give him her small, old house and take his big, new house instead.

Suddenly everybody wants Lindsay's house. Is there oil under the basement, plans to bring the railroad through, pirate treasure buried in the basement?

Meanwhile, sales skyrocket for the special dessert Lindsay calls Murdered Man's Brownies in honor of Rodney Bradford.

Prisoners, murderers, crazy relatives and strippers are all part of the chaos.

BONUS! Chocolate recipes at the end of the book. Poison optional.

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. Contact information is available on my website. I love to talk to readers! And writers. And riders. And computer programmers. And poets and pirates and paupers and pawns and kings and cats and dogs. Okay, I just plain love to talk! http: //www.sallyberneathy.com

In another life, she wrote fifteen romance novels ranging from comedy to dark suspense and won several awards including National Readers’ Choice, Romantic Times Best Silhouette and two Rita finalist slots.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2019
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    There is a group of main characters who make up a wide spectrum of personalities. One uses sarcasm much of the time but has trouble shutting her mouth and thinking before she speaks. She is funny, though. One is shy and quiet yet very stubborn. Another is an all around sleazy person. One is a happy go lucky toddler. One is a detective who totally sticks to the rules. And the last has obsessive compulsive behaviors and is very secretive about himself but is a good person. This is another murder mystery in the series. The author keeps the reader engaged throughout the book. Nice job! Better than the first book which was also good. I figured out part of this one before the end.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2014

    I did something I seldom do and read this series out of order. Murder Lies and Chocolate is the second in the series.

    The books chronicle the adventures and misadventures of Lindsay who owns a restaurant called "Death by Chocolate". Ok so she is a chocolatier. She has a conniving almost ex with a seriously dysfunctional family and boyfriend wana be who is a detective. Add a pair of best friends and you pretty much have the major players. Well I should note one of the best friends is an older man with a secret past. CIA maybe.

    Well written light in tone and humorous for the most part these are pleasant reads and you hate to see the come to an end. Her series about the ex who is a ghost is also quite good. Light mystery done right.

    A really great read! Interesting characters - who wouldn't relate to a chocolate & caffeine loving protagonist with an interesting cast of friends and not-so-friendly ex's! I got completely immersed in Sally Berneathy's world and simply could not put this book down. The secondary characters have a life of their own and are just as interesting as the main character, Lindsay Powell. Can't wait for the next installment! Love the recipe section in the back...I finally feel I have found a world where it is acceptable to have chocolate for breakfast, lunch & dinner! Thank you for a well written & enjoyable read!

    Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2025

    Diving into this second book in Sally Berneathy’s entertaining series made it easy to ignore everything else until the last page. Owner of a chocolate shop, Lindsay becomes suspicious when her ex introduces her to a client wanting to pay an extravagant amount of money for her little cottage, which is not for sale. Her problems escalate with a death outside her shop and a meddling ex who won’t back down. Impetuous, sassy, and fond of fast cars and quick resolutions, Lindsay ploughs ahead, dodging danger. Her almost-boyfriend, Trent, can’t keep up with her. Henry, her cat, Paula, her best friend, and Fred, her enigmatic neighbor, add plenty of action and humor to the story. I couldn’t put it down, and I’m off to read the next book in the series.

    Sally Berneathy does not disappoint with this the second book in the Death By Chocolate series. The storyline is intriguing and fun. Once again our heroine Lindsay is facing unknown intruders into her life turning it upside down. Her humourous outlook even in the direst of circumstances is what makes this character so endearing. Her friends Paula, Fred (with his secret "powers"), Henry the cat and detective boyfriend Trent all make a reappearance as does her estranged husband Rick, who is pulling a scam with Lindsay on the receiving end. Overall the book was a quick, fun, PG read with lots happening and was very hard to put down. I highly recommend this very entertaining book.

    Reviewed in France on October 28, 2019
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Where the first book was cutish, this grated with a contrived plotline and a wholly unbelievable relationship between the main characters. Wanting to keep it PG is one thing, but two adults kissing and dating for a year but enot sleeping together, whilst not shying away from convicts, murders and strip clubs takes hypocracy to another level. The star is for the one sequence that had a bit of originality, not to spoil, one mentioning several " officers ".
