This book was not as satisfying as I was hoping it would be. It was an interesting read and I liked how it was broken up by meal course. I found the middle of the book to be pretty boring and I was hoping for more of the story to be dispersed throughout the actual dinner itself but it felt a bit disjointed in the middle. I would have like a little more concrete revaluations at the end but that’s my personal preference in a thriller
