An endearing hero and mouth watering recipes

Cecile Lamalle's second entry in her culinary mystery series featuring Charly Poisson, chef and owner of the best (and only) French restaurant in Van Buren County makes an entertaining read and actually makes you want to cook! Charly, very French and vey quirky, is also an amateur sleuth, much to the chagrin of local law enforcement. When the seeming suicide of Patty, the pastry chef's friend, Amanda, turns out to be murder and the county is hit by a series of antique thefts, Charly is drawn into the search for the culprits. Mix in the mob and you have a situation that could turn out to be very dangerous. Both the believable characters and the mystery make a very agreeable diversion.
