Dripping in Chocolate 2012

     A woman has been strangled in front of a business doorway in Sydney Australia.  The neighborhood is called The Rocks.  Detective Bennett O’Mara finds a chocolate wrapper while collecting evidence at the crime scene.  Across the street is a boutique chocolate shop and Juliana Lovece is the chocolatier.  Juliana tells Detective O’Mara that this type of chocolate was shipped to a specific customer.  Soon after, the husband of woman that Juliana has just met is found murdered.  Since Juliana is at the scene, she is also suspected as the perpetrator of this crime.  Detective O’Mara is getting very suspicious about the innocence of Juliana!!

     The evidence against Juliana has piled up along the way.  Juliana has a boyfriend but she is very flirty with O’Mara?  She has a beach house and she claims it’s just a shack but it is a lot more upscale than a shack?  Maybe there is more to Juliana than we know?  5* (I liked this movie)
