My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Charly and Cliff Harding are celebrity chefs from Snow Lake, Nevada. Charly prefers to stay home and run their fine dining restaurant, while Cliff is “The Restaurant Guru,” a Gordon Ramsay-esque TV star. Cliff’s fame takes a toll on their marriage, and they divorce … despite still loving each other. Their cat, Felix, and dog, Oscar, are separate by the process as well … and keep running away to visit one another.
There are a number of accidents and incidents that cause the two to realize that Charly’s life may be in danger, as she receives prank phone calls, threatening text messages and more … and then the murder takes place! Cliff stands accused of killing the victim, and Charly is determined to clear his name.
This book was a fun cozy mystery with a lot of romantic elements. Author Heather Haven has created a town populated with believable citizens, and a plot that, while not quite a fair play puzzle, keeps the reader motivated to read “just one more chapter” before turning out the lights.
A highly recommended holiday read.
