About the Book

In her eagerly awaited fiction debut, the Washington Post's best-loved, award-winning food writer, Phyllis Richman, has cooked up a tempting tale of mousse, mayhem, and murder: a tautly woven insider's look at the food and newspaper worlds. Laurence Levain was a culinary superstar, and the high-profile owner and chef of Chez Laurence, an internationally renowned restaurant in Washington, DC. When Levain collapses in his clogs the night before a star-studded black-tie benefit dinner, all bets are on his soaring cholesterol level. But one person has her doubts--Chas Wheatley, the Washington Examiner's saber-penned restaurant critic. Still carrying a torch for Levain after an affair they had years before, she breaks out all her investigative resources to find the culprit. But the big-city newspaper and food communities are deadly competitive.

Susan O'Malley (a.k.a. Bernadette Dunne) is the winner of numerous AudioFile Earphones Awards and has twice been nominated for the prestigious Audie Award.

Review :
"Washington Post restaurant critic Phyllis Richman certainly knows her food, and her skill at keeping a lively mystery plot simmering is almost as impressive." -- "Amazon.com, editorial review" "[A] delectable tale of manslaughter, edibles and romance...Susan O'Mally's wry narration adds the appropriate amount of seasoning to this tale...This is a yarn worth savoring." -- "AudioFile" "A marvelously drawn restaurant critic who can solve a crime as easily as she can tell you the inside scoop for a dessert pizza...I'm ravenous for more!" -- "Diane Mott Davidson, New York Times bestselling author " "A terrific and stylish first mystery by the Washington Post's restaurant critic...How can you not love a writer who includes a reference to the wry and passionate folksinging McGarrigle sisters? Four stars for a stunning debut." -- "Booklist" "Writing with practiced assurance, the author has a fresh, blithe, sometimes raunchy style far beyond the talent needed for her real-life food critic's job at the Washington Post." -- "Kirkus Reviews"
