Bookreview: Hail to the Chef


Author: Julie Hyzy
Genre: Mystery
Published: 2008
Personal rating: 4/5
Yearly count: 75 (2011 Book)



White House executive chef Ollie Paras has to put her own interests on the back burner when a kindly electrician is electrocuted to death, and the First Lady's nephew dies in an apparent suicide less than 24 hours after cleaning shrimp with Ollie. Ollie suspects something fishy is going on. She'll have to watch her back - and find a killer unlikely to be pardoned.

This book gives the reader a peek into the holiday kitchen of the White House, which was great given the time of year I read it. But it was also a very nice cozy mystery. I especially liked the fact that Ollie didn’t deliberately stuck her nose into the bomb situation and that she did not like being in the middle of it. All in all it was a fun read with a satisfying amount of mystery.
