Death by Chocolate by Anna Brooke

Packed full of humour and chocolate, this mystery is the perfect gift for middle-grade readers this Easter! Coco’s parents have poured everything into a struggling French hotel. But the hotel is haunted by a bitter old ghost, Monsieur Framboise, a chocolatier who met a sticky end. He agrees to share his legendary skills with Coco and her new friend Louis in exchange for their help in uncovering the truth behind his murder.

Can Coco and Louis save the family hotel and solve the mystery by Easter? The Great Chocoplot meets Chocolat, with a dash of Murder Most Unladylike. Humour, mystery and chocolate – the perfect Easter egg alternative!  An older middle-grade debut from the hilarious author Anna Brooke.
