This is like a 2.5. The main character was so annoying, and callous. This would be fine if there was any development, but there wasn't. The plot was fine, the murder mystery slightly predictable. My biggest issue was the romantic tension that led to nowhere. Apparently this is a series so I imagine that develops more, however there were just no redeeming qualities to the main character. It did go pretty in depth to the restaurant business and lifestyle very well, and really accurate so I appreciated that.

The early parts of this book should not be read with an empty stomach! The descriptions of baking and desserts made my mouth water. I thought this was a light, entertaining read. The narrator's voice was terrific with all characters except for the accents; her Hispanic accents were distracting.
