A hearty, delicious dinner prepared, cooked and served with lethal love. Tom and Bea are celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary. It was a sort of a celebration after Tom's kidnapping ordeal in the hands of an insane woman, Cleo, which almost destroyed their marriage. Bea, famously known in the food industry as the fairy chef, concocted a special three-course meal, plus a delectable dessert for Tom . . . to die for. When love borders in insanity, the consequences are deadly.

After reading and enjoying The Unfaithful Wife: An Epistolary Narrative, I wanted to read more of this author's work and gravitated towards this story. Unfortunately, this story was uber short and not as gripping.
I picked up this book to diversify my reading tastes with a nice thriller, and this short story intrigued me. It was a really quick read with a good ending. I feel that I can't say much since it's so short, it would give the whole story away. If you are looking for a nice quick thriller, I would recommend this! Though I would warn you: careful with this if you're squeamish!
My first book by the author that I thoroughly enjoyed. In such a short story Mayumi Cruz managed to turn a romantic dinner into a crime without us even suspecting it. A very enjoyable work highly recommended. I'll look forward to reading a lot more books by the author.
