Chef Dani is invited to cater a dinner for a large corporation who plans to announce their new West Coast Manager. The Eight executive candidates being considered are invited to the owner's lodge in British Columbia and the announcement for the position will be announced at the dinner. The owner has already hired Arthur's company to provide security since the salary for the new position will be around 20 million dollars and he is concerned that there might be a problem from the 7 candidates who don't get the position. Throw in life threatening phone calls to one of the candidates and the owner's girlfriend and the plot thickens. Lots of exciting twists and turns until at the very end the blackmailer/potential killer is discovered. Really good read.

Good book

I have read all 10 of the Dani Rosetti books. They are all interesting and the mystery surrounding the catering is usually a very off the wall case. They can be read as stand alone books but better if you start with book 1. You will enjoy them more if you know the relationships and how they came to be. A bonus is there are always recipes at the end!

Killer saves the day

Interesting mystery as Arthur and his team work security issues at an event Dani is catering. Blackmail, threats, danger and possibly murder keep the reader on alert and, of course, Killer (Dani's dog) helps save the day. Enjoyable.

This was the latest book in the chef Dani Rosetti cozy mystery series. Dani has been asked to
Cater a dinner on Vancouver island. Her sous chef, Arthur, doubles as a security specialist and is called upon to determine who has threatened two women. It all comes together in this quick and fun read!

Disappointing

This story line was very unrealistic. I sincerely doubt that the head of a large organization would hire a caterer and tell her all this information about his company. Everyone keeps discussing everything. Not much mystery here.

I have read all the books in this series usually enjoy very much. This one was so predictable and plot very weak.

I enjoyed this one also. I think I like them better when they go into detail on how to catch the bad guy before anyone gets killed!

Another good book in this series. It’s still nice to follow the lives of all the characters in these books.
