Diners are dying at upscale restaurants and Caleb, a chef and a cop, is called in to solve the murders. I enjoyed this book. I did not figure out who the killer was. I liked Caleb and Marlene, his ex-wife and current business partner. I liked their bantering. I could tell they were comfortable together. Just a short book to read in a couple hours.

Great for a short story but wasn't able to connect with the main character(s). Unsure how I like the idea of a detective/chef.
