Rated 5 starsThere is alot of drooling even if you eat before reading
Death of a great chef. Cause heart attack. But Chas Wheatly feels it is more than that. We get to read about great foods and life of a food critic. Keeps you guessing. Just when you think you might have it a curveball is thrown in. Hard to put down. Love the recipe at the end. Easy for us who are not chefs.

Rated 5 starsThis is a book you can't put down!!!
What a great first novel from Phyllis Richman! It pulled me in on page one and held my attention through the last page, and I honestly hated to see it end. It not only held my interest as a mystery, but was informative into the workings of the restaurant industry. I hope this is just the beginning of a series of "Chas" mysteries.

Rated 5 starsA fun read!!!

Ms Richman obviously knows her business and her witty style keeps you turning the pages. The title suggests an author with a sense of humor and her story confirms your expectations. I eagerly look forward to Ms Richman's next adventure with Chas and friends in their tasty world...
