She writes mysteries based on chocolate right? I've read the first 8 and enjoyed them.
I read mainly mysteries most by women authors with women as the problem solvers. I especially enjoy the cooking/baking based ones. Some of my favorites are: Diane Mott Davidson (where I learned to brine pork chops), Miranda Bliss, Cleo Coyle (about coffee), Joanne Fluke, Julie Hyzy (white house chef), Jenn McKinlay (cupcakes), Michelle Scott (wine) to name a few. There are a whole bunch more, these are the ones that have made it to my Book Collector database. Most have recipes included.

She does Alina, she has a new one out that was displayed at the front of the library but I headed for the older ones and only found one, not even sure which one I got.
Thanks for the names, I love Joanne Fluke but DMD's books never resonated with me, I found her timelines in the characters lives to be hard to follow. I will have to look for the other ones.
so picked up 5 more books at the library, 4 of which are food related: "Mastering the Art of French Eating" by Ann Mah, "Blue Plate Special" by Kate Christensen (looks vaguely familiar - like perhaps I attempted to read this once before), "When French Women Cook" by Madeleine Kamman, and "Egg" by Michael Ruhlman. So very much looking forward to my reading/swimming at the pool and the many summer meals I have planned for these 10 days.
