White House chef Olivia Paras and her arch nemesis, White House Sensitivity Director Peter Everett Sargeant, must work together to solve the double murder of one of the First Lady's assistants and the Chief of Staff-before they become the next victims of a merciless assassin with a secret agenda.
The latest book in the White House Chef mystery series by Julie Hyzy is probably the best one yet. I don’t know what I loved more about this book. All the little threads of the mystery adding up to the big finale, done in a masterful way. The small mystery which turned out to be a red herring but still important on a more personal level. The closer look we get at Sergeant, who's even a little likable after this book. Or Ollie's progress in her relationship with Gav, which demonstrated perfectly how wrong Tom really was for her – especially during the instances we got both Tom and Gav’s reaction to the same situation.
All of it made for a book I really, really loved and I read through it in one go, starting the moment it automatically downloaded on my Kindle due to the pre-ordering I did in December. I cannot wait until the next book and I’ll be gushing about this one until then. Highly, highly recommended! But do be sure to start this series at the beginning, because there are several red threads throughout this series, especially concerning Ollie’s relationships with other characters.
