| Brooklyn
Wainwright is happy for her sister, Savannah, who has a great
opportunity to showcase her cooking skills at the opening
of a new restaurant in San Francisco. While Savannah has her
own restaurant, her friend, and former lover, Baxter, is a
celebrity chef and the attention will be great for Savannah,
and the other chefs who will each get a night to cook over
the course of two weeks.
That’s
the plan, anyway, until Baxter is murdered and Savannah is
found standing over him with the bloody murder weapon in her
hand. Missing from the scene is an antique cookbook, restored
by Brooklyn at Savannah’s request. Baxter had given
the cookbook to Savannah during their fling in Paris, and
suggested she tuck it away and forget she had it. Now Baxter
got it back and shortly thereafter, he turns up dead. Is there
a connection? Brooklyn ponders this and enlists her handsome
beau, an investigator, and security specialist to help her
find out, and to prove her sister’s innocence.
Carlisle
continues to delight her fans with the Bibliophile Mystery
series. The story is artfully woven, the characters true to
life, and the mystery, well, mysterious. I read the book in
one afternoon, and then was tempted enough to try to make
one of the recipes found at the back of the book. I am happy
to report that not only did I thoroughly enjoy the book, my
husband and I both loved Brooklyn’s Guacamole Surprise!
