This is the third of a series of very fun books. They are perfect for summer beach reads, for winter ski chalet reads, for anytime you want to read something that will a) keep your attention; b) be fun; c) is well-written and d) surprises you with the ending. These are not the sort of mysteries where you will easily guess "whodunit."

I enjoy the characters in this series. They're all a little quirky. The motive for the murder was not really believable, though. I have to try a couple of the recipes in the back, especially the calamari one.

This is the third title in this series, and not nearly as good as the first one. And, since I'm not a foodie, I find all the recipe details throughout the narrative nothing but distracting.
