"A fun, easy read that can be dipped in to whenever the munchies attack.

I particularly liked the crime genre recipe at the start of each part.

Altogether, a book that made me smile & laugh; a tonic in these difficult times.

Frank Herbert
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
Frank Herbert, Dune
