Rated 5 starsNew Writers Cook Up a Good "Whodunnit"
A fresh book to the "foodie" mystery genre, the authors add a paranormal ingredient that carries well.

The great news is there's more to come. P.S. Invite the authors to your community/library/book store for a presentation and book signing...

Finkelstein and Smily are your chefs of the evening, and...

Rated 5 starsOutstanding New Series
Having just finished reading "The Chef Who Died Sauteing," I can wholeheartedly recommend what promises to be an outstanding new series - the Ariel Quigley mysteries. Two talented authors (Honora Finkelstein & Susan Smily) have combined forces to create characters that are truly human - with determination, courage, compassion, intelligence, humor and sorrow. These are people I would love to meet in person and would be...
