A review by paperbackstash
Foreign Éclairs by Julie Hyzy

2.0

I can't say I enjoyed the end to the series. Much of it is spent outside the White House again, revisiting an earlier terrorist association. I foresaw several endings to the book - where for the time being Ollie would stay on as chef and Gav in the service, with possible retirement later. Or they would retire in the vineyard as they discussed, with the going away party type Henry received, making Bucky the new Chef. Could have been a surprise metal for her service all the years. Instead we get a bleak type of ending I didn't see coming, and an open-ended almost cliffhanger instead of a resolution. It didn't fit the series. Yes, I know terrorism isn't pretty and it can't all be sunshine and rainbows, but to be fair, the situation in the first place wasn't realistic and that the Secret Service continues to be this inept.... A good series, but I would have liked a different finale.
