I didn’t finish this book because it’s garbage. Thankfully I got it for free off Amazon so I’m not out anything. Don’t waste your time. All the characters are horribly shallow and unlikeable. The plot is super thin. I can smell a romance coming a mile away with the real actual loser main character and the thought kind of makes me sick to my stomach. Of course the main female cop is a total bitch who’s unable to have a normal human interaction. It was like a test of how many awful stereotypes one could fit in the first few chapters.

I really enjoyed this culinary mystery! I am amazed at how seamless the storytelling is, even though it was written by numerous authors. As a giant food show fan, I love how it incorporated food television and food competitions into the story. Highly recommended.
Reading this on the Kindle app is a weird experience. It has no page numbers, only this: "LOC 1687 of 4412". That tells me....uh....nothing. Just as with every Kindle book, it tells you how long you have left in a chapter. But it will say 2 minutes left in the chapter on the last page of that chapter, then 1 minute left in the chapter on the first page of the next chapter. Kindle books always say "learning reading speed" when you first start reading, but this one says that once every 3 or 4 pages. I am assuming the publisher didn't do Kindle formatting on the file? I like to know where I am in a book, and this is driving me crazy. I'll post again when I get to LOC 4412, about what I thought of the story!
