Killer Mousse

This is a great "first in a series" book, we have a new TV cook, an adorable standard Poodle, a complicated set of relationships and, oh, a murder or two.

Della has just been hired to replace Mimi as a TV host for a cooking show. Mimi shows up drunk for the first taping and manages to get herself killed, while on air! And the tension and complications continue from there, getting more convoluted and more dangerous as the story unfolds.

I like Della, not too sure I like her new "significant other" but will reserve judgement for another book or two.

I'll be reading more in this series.

A great new mystery! I hope Melinda Wells writes more. Della , our herone, is a middle-aged widow expanding her cooking school to a TV show. We have the obligatory recipies, blessedly in the back of the book, bu they are actually practical and sound good. Della is a believable and likable character. The mystery is not rocket science, but keeps the attention and is a fun read. Good light mystery reading.

Meet Della Carmichael, owner of a cooking school in Santa Monica, California, and, as of this week, star of a brand-new cable cooking show. But she's about to add another credit to her resume: suspect. Della Cooks #1

Very good series start, I'm looking forward to the next book.

Very enjoyable

Not bad - good story, might be good characters - will need to wait for the next book to find out.
