About this audiobook
Angie Turner's restaurant, The County Seat, is conveniently located near a first-class farmers market-so her menu is full of fresh ingredients. But a visiting culinary professor has just had a taste of something very unhealthy . . .
Angie first meets Daniel Monet at a local mission, where she and her chef-in-training, Hope, are serving barbecued chicken poutine to the homeless. Monet is one of Hope's teachers-but Angie's boyfriend knows him from his youthful days in England. But soon, the bon vivant is no longer vivant. When Monet is found dead, with Hope's prints on the wine glass next to him, it will be Angie who has to sauce out the real killer . . .

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5When a prof of Hope’s turns up murdered the same night that Hope gave him a ride home from the restaurant, the cops see her as a person of interest. But it’s clear to Angie that Hope herself is in danger from the real murderer. It boils down to “Who Do You Trust?” and clearly, that’s what Angie must discover. She is searching for clues, quietly interviewing those closest to the deceased as well as a strange man who showed up recently. Still running the restaurant, she is also trying to find time to be with Ian, her boyfriend, whose pseudo-parents, really his aunt and uncle, want to have a special dinner with them. Since the uncle is the sheriff, Angie wants to make a good impression, especially since the sheriff is normally irritated at Angie’s interference with his cases. It’s a good mystery, made even better with the interaction between the well-written characters, and the wonderful narration of Susan Boyce in the audio version.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Angie Turner lives on a small farm with Mabel (a hen), Precious (a goat) and Dom her St. Bernard puppy who is growing fast. She also is part owner/chef at restaurant The County Seat with her best friend, Felicia. Angie loves to cook and Felicia loves to talk so Angie handles the kitchen and Felicia takes care of the customers. Felicia is dating a man who runs a homeless shelter/soup kitchen, so the staff at the County Seat volunteer to cook one evening. Along with the staff of Estebe (asst. chef), Hope (dishwasher), and Ian, Angie's boyfriend, Professor Daniel Monet, one of Hope's instructor's at the local college joins in at the shelter. Afterward, Hope offers a ride to the Professor and that's how trouble starts. The Professor is found dead the following day and Hope is a suspect. Angie and the rest of Hope's "family" from the County Seat set out to find out what happened and clear Hope.I really didn't like this story that much. It seem a little to pat that there were connections of this new professor with Angie's boyfriend and unusual how the people were all supposed to be connected.Love the background and the regular characters.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Angie Turner is settling into her "quiet" country existence outside of Boise. I say that tongue in cheek as there have been far more murders happening, the investigations in which she has somehow been involved, in this small Idaho town just since she settled here. Regardless, she plows forward with her friend and partner, Felicia with their "Farm to Fork" concept restaurant. They imagine creative dishes and special offerings for their clientele.In support of Felicia's mission-driven boyfriend, Taylor, the whole restaurant kitchen crew rolls up their sleeves and helps out serving dinner at the local homeless mission. As young kitchen crew member Hope Anderson, is telling Angie about this cool new Canadian professor she has, Daniel Monet, (and with whom she's apparently quite smitten), said professor walks through the door to help serve the dinner. As it appears, Angie's boyfriend Ian is also somewhat acquainted with the professor but neither Ian nor Daniel really lets on about all that. Daniel is apparently not really Daniel. When all is said and done, professor Monet needs a ride home which smitten Hope is happy to provide. Sure enough, the next day, it's discovered that the professor won't be teaching any more culinary classes and Hope may well have been the last person to see him alive. So begins the mystery.Surprisingly, there is little official investigating done (at least to the reader's knowledge). It is mostly done by Angie who keeps referring her findings to Sheriff Allen Brown (Ian's surrogate uncle). Sheriff Brown is tough to read and keeps telling Angie to keep her nose out of police business if she can help it. That is apparently harder for Angie than one might think. She's particularly protective of young Hope and wants to clear Hope's name, post haste.Although this book is the third installment in author Lynn Cahoon's Farm to Fork mystery series, there is enough descriptive detail regarding the characters to allow the story to stand alone. Sure, it could be interesting to read how the characters got to this point but the story stands well enough on its own.This was the perfect cozy mystery to cleanse the palate after a couple of emotionally tough reads I had gotten through. If you're looking for a light, relaxing read with a touch of mystery, then this may well be the perfect book for you.I am grateful to Kensington Publishing Corps and Goodreads First Reads for having provided a copy of this ebook. Their generosity, however, has not influenced this review - the words of which are mine alone. Synopsis (from author's website):Angie Turner’s restaurant, The County Seat, is conveniently located near a first-class farmers market—so her menu is full of fresh ingredients. But a visiting culinary professor has just had a taste of something very unhealthy . . . Angie first meets Daniel Monet at a local mission, where she and her chef-in-training, Hope, are serving barbeque chicken poutine to the homeless. Monet is one of Hope’s teachers—but Angie’s boyfriend knows him from his youthful days in England. But soon, the bon vivant is no longer vivant. When Monet is found dead, with Hope’s prints on the wine glass next to him, it will be Angie who has to sauce out the real killer . . .
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A man posing as a chef and teaching in a local culinary school is murdered, and one of Angie's employees becomes a suspect because she went to the man's home. Angie discovers the man appears to have no past and is unable to validate what they'd been told about the man's prior life. Although I lacked familiarity with the characters someone who read the series from book one would possess, I did not find it that difficult to distinguish identities. The Idaho setting is a nice change from other cozy series. I really did not get a good feel for the official police investigators in the series. I would prefer to see a stronger presence of officials. The few times we do see them, they are simply eating in the restaurant. We get no sense of the official investigation nor the way the cozy sleuth's investigation interferes. I doubt this will ever be my favorite series, but it's more readable than some newer cozy series. I received an electronic copy via a GoodReads giveaway. Although a review is desired and welcome in exchange for the giveaway, one was not required.
