About this audiobook
Rosemary Field never planned on working as a private, holistic chef for a demanding vegan actress. But then, plans have a way of going out the window when a girl learns her parents have skipped town, leaving behind a half-million-dollar debt.
Rosemary makes the best of her situation, putting up with her boss's diva antics and halfheartedly fending off the advances of the impossibly sexy stepson who comes with the high-paying gig. Then someone decides to kill the miserable movie star. It's bad news for any chef when a client dies from an allergic reaction after eating your cooking. It's even worse news for Rosemary because the police are determined to charge her with murder.
To restore her reputation (and stay out of prison), Rosemary has to find the real murderer-and fast. Her short list of suspects includes a womanizing race car driver, a powerful music producer, Hollywood's hottest leading man, and, oh yeah, Felix, the dead woman's stepson-which gets a little awkward when Rosemary starts dating him.
Unfortunately, everything Rosemary thought she knew is wrong-dead wrong.
After a romantic dinner with Felix ends in food poisoning, she finds herself unattached, unemployed, and once again on the wrong side of the LAPD. She knows how to salvage an oversalted sauce, but can she salvage the disaster that is her life? And will the hunky homicide detective help her-or book her?

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I thought it was very predictable & at the end, the exchange between Rosemary & the detective was neither pithy nor clever. I’d say overall it was a mediocre novel.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I listened to the audiobook version, and I thought that it was a passable entertainment for a few hours on a dull day. This a cosy mystery with a touch of romance. The story takes place in Los Angeles, near Hollywood, and the murder victim is an actress. There is not much depth to the characters, nor the story, and the whodunnit is very easy to figure out.
But again, sometimes you need pure entertainment to get you through a mountain of housework or a dreary menial task, this a good book for the purpose. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a good clean read. I think the detective is a pretty nice guy. (I also give him brownie points for waiting for this "thing" between Rosemary and Felix to fizzle.) I'm definitely willing to try out the sequel.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I'm on a run of "cozy" mysteries these days, and this was a good one!Rosemary is a research scientist turned personal chef, for family reasons. She has a lucrative gig, but with a movie star married to a business tycoon, neither of which are easy to deal with. And then their is his flirtatious, handsome son...When the movie star dies of allergic shock after eating some kind of nuts, obviously Rosemary is under suspicion. And when she and Felix- the mogul's son- start to pursue a relationship, and he is felled by food poisoning...Many twists to this plot, and they are nicely done. In addition, Rosemary learns and grows throughout all this, and her sisters help.I am intrigued by the relationship between the sisters, and would love to know more details about their situation after their parents abandoned the family business to, literally, sail away into the sunset! The sisters seem very different, but with a close and caring bond.I would also love to know how at least 2 of them got such insanely lucrative gigs in jobs wehre underpaying is much more common!Anyway- a fun mystery, well-paced, with interesting characters.
