Customer Reviews

Authentic dialogue and believeable characters

I read Barbara Arau's novel in nearly one sitting because I loved it! The dialog is so authentic and the people so believeable (maybe she knew people like this???) She had me laughing throughout. My only comment to the contrary is that, as a 300-pounder myself, weight shouldn't necessarily be a hinge for humor.

Would make a Great Movie!

Someone's in the Kitchen With Dinah is a great "whodunnit".Humphrey Bogart's "Key Largo" is the setting for this adventure on fictitious Webb Key. It's well written with subtle clues that keep you guessing! I was unable to put it down because I just HAD to discover who the real villian was.Barbara Arau has an uncanny ability to put you in the shoes of her protagonist; you can smell the ocean, see the palm trees, the docks, the boats...her descriptions really transport you to the Florida Keys. I think it would be a wonderful movie: a fast paced nail biter during the hurricaine scene. Get it. You won't be disappointed.

Really FUN!!

I couldn't put it down. A real page-turner. One of the most entertaining books I've ever read. I definately would like to read more from this author. Very sexy!!

Someone's in the Kitchen with Dinah

I loved this book! The zany characters were a delight, albeit a bit "off-the-wall" (not unlike reality in the Keys...) and truly kept you guessing. As a native Floridian, I have experienced many hurricanes. I can tell you with absolute certainty that I would not want to be stranded on the Keys during one of these Big Blows. This of course, only added to the suspense and intrigue. A very good read. I hope there will be more of the same, forthcoming from this Author.

Someone's in the Kitchen with Dinah

This was a great book! It was a fun read, especially good for vacation reading. I loved reading about Dinah's adventures in the Florida Keys -- an area where I spent time as a child. I also loved reading about the fabulous meals Dinah prepared (I tried, rather sucessfully to make one myself).
