Murder in Santa Fe: A Chef Dani Rosetti Cozy Mystery
In the enchanting city of Santa Fe, on the cusp of the renowned Indian Market, Chef Dani Rosetti finds herself in the midst of art, allure, and alarming schemes. Contracted to cater a lavish dinner for America's elite Native American art collectors, the evening promises opulence and cultural splendor. But behind the scenes, a storm of intrigue brews.
Art dealers, a revered Native American artist, and an enigmatic art dealer from New York named Julian Schimmer, who allegedly sold counterfeit art to several attending guests, make up the eclectic guest list. As Dani's astute sous-chef and seasoned private investigator, Arthur, delves into the background of the attendees, he's convinced that more than one guest might desire Julian's downfall.
The plot thickens as Annabelle Rosen, Santa Fe's most successful gallery owner and the night's hostess, confounds them. Why would Annabelle invite Julian, a man embroiled in scandal, especially when her wealthy clients were his victims? Could a whirlwind of greed, art, and romance be at play, ensnaring the handsome Julian in a dance of deception?
In a night filled with artful mysteries and unfolding secrets, Chef Dani Rosetti is about to serve a dinner none will forget.
Dive into this rich tapestry of art, intrigue, and culinary suspense in the 11th installment of the Chef Dani Rosetti Cozy Mystery Series by a USA Today Bestselling Author.

Murder in Santa Fe
I'm wondering what happened to the little Chihuahua dog. Who keeps him when everyone is gone & I thought Killer was his friend?
Also, whatever happened to the Pham Penh trip?
Curious minds would like to know.
I was really looking forward to this book, since I've visited New Mexico as a child. I didn't enjoy this one as much. It seemed like the story ended so abruptly.
However, these stories are always set up so nicely.

Fantastic read..1 sitting
I loved this book. I understood the characters , their tie to the hostess, and the art dealer. The party was an excellent idea to get people together. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a mystery. I would change nothing.

I expected more excitement in the ending.
I had never read this author before and was thoroughly engrossed in the characters and plot development which I felt were excellent. In all honesty, though, I was disappointed in the ending.

Good story
There was a lot of information and background leading up to the dinner part of the story. It was very cut and dried so I was a bit disappointed not to get to figure out who the killer was.

Another enjoyable Chef Rossetti mystery. I lived in New Mexico for 5 years and was excited to read a book that took place there.

Prologue kind of spoiled it for me, but otherwise good story. Would have enjoyed it much more if I had not read prologue.
