They’re back! The Richest Cooking Competition Ever Shown on Television is filming Season Two, and the mayhem continues!


There are eight new talented chefs competing for the quarter million dollar prize, and one of them is that extremely egotistical, philandering judge from last season. While the possibility of romance still percolates, the dire events that unfold will temper your smiles.

Silver Spring Island may be the perfect setting for a luxury vacation, but once again, it’s the place where somebody wants to disrupt the richest cooking competition on television. Is it another Network, or is it somebody with an axe (or a cleaver) to grind?



If you like your mysteries to have great characters as well as entertaining plot twists and turns, you're going to love M'lissa Moorecroft's latest book, Judging the Judge, the second book in her new series, The Silver Springs Cooking Competition Mysteries.

Good

The story is good and I did laugh at the antics. I had a problem with the incredible number of typos though. There wasn’t a page that didn’t have several errors. It was very frustrating. I hope the next book in this series is edited better.

really liked this book, reality cooking competition shows are my favorite shows to watch on tv and this was similar. I like the characters, their interactions, the former judge/now contestant that everyone loves to hate. would thoroughly recommend this book.

Enjoyable Read

I enjoyed reading more about the cooking competition in its second year. There were many of the same characters, as well as some interesting new ones. Once again it was funny, dramatic and intriguing.

One of the judges from last year's cooking contest is one of the contestants this year. Who is trying to sabotage him and why?

A great little series about the cut throat world of celebrity chefs and cookery programmes. A great mix of characters, some you love, some not so much. Can't wait for the next installment.
