Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder is the first in a sweet-themed cozy mystery series, with a heavy emphasis on the cozy. Fluke seems to spend more time developing her gimmick than focusing on the murder-mystery aspect of the genre. But that emphasis includes plenty of recipes, so I wasn't too disappointed. Hannah Swenson is a clunky but sweet protagonist with a firm belief that chocolate can cure all. I have a feeling that this series could improve with time, so I'm fairly likely to pick up the second book at some point in the future.
I actually made Fluke's "Chocolate Covered Cherry Delights" on the tenth, and they were quite a treat!
