Synopsis (from Amazon.com): In Conant-Park and Conant's cute fourth Gourmet Girl mystery to feature Chloe Carter (after 2008's Turn Up the Heat), Josh Driscoll, Chloe's chef boyfriend, unwittingly serves up some poisoned lamb on a Boston cable reality TV show, Chefly Yours. Both Josh and Chloe fall ill, but it's Francie, a randomly chosen shopper at the gourmet store Natural High, who eats too much of the digitalis-laced dish and doesn't recover. Was Francie the intended victim or just unlucky? Suspects range from Josh's fellow contestants competing for a new eight-part cooking show to some pranksters who may have taken a joke too far. Preparations for the wedding of Chloe's very pregnant best friend distract social work's answer to Nancy Drew from her sleuthing, but not for long. Recipes, some by pro chefs, round out this delectable chick lit cozy, which ends on an emotional cliffhanger for Chloe.
My Thoughts: Jessica Conant-Park and Susan Conant return for their 4th book in the Gourmet Girl Mystery Series. I enjoyed this installment of the series, much better than the last book where it appeared as if the murderer came out of nowhere. I enjoyed the developing relationship between Chloe and Josh as the series continues. I also am enjoying that the series is having Chloe come into her own and finding her way as a social work student rather than portraying her only as Josh's girlfriend.
Again, I found this book a fast, fun summer read! Enjoy!
My rating: : ) :) :) :) I liked it!
And remember,
