Editorial Reviews

Readers looking for mysteries well steeped in both culinary traditions and realistic conflicts between career and family will relish this multifaceted investigative piece, which draws readers in from the start with its realistic balance of intrigue and life challenges. ­- D. Donovan, Midwest Book Review

If you are looking for a slightly different take on a culinary cozy mystery, this is the debut to read. -- Carstairs Considered

"Warm and cool, sassy and savvy, GP Gottlieb has written a murder mystery that is as interesting as the family dynamic itself -- exploring its alliances, intrigues and the possibility of how people can protect, surprise, and, quite literally -- kill each other. A fun, delicious read!" - Marcy Heisler, theatrical lyricist
