A murder in Chocolatetown. This book is set in a fictional town based on Hershey, PA, with a company that sounds a lot like Hershey. A cocoa buyer is murdered during a business convention. The investigation gives you a good look into the chocolate business, futures trading, and public television, all with a little tongue in cheek. (
