3 out of 5
I really didnt like this one as much as the first in the series. This one was choppier and the murder really seemed inconsequential.
Chloe has finally landed her dream man, Josh Driscol, but while preparing for the opening of his new restaurant a rival club owner is found dead. Of course there are too many suspects and the story twists in so many different directions that the reader doesnt understand what path the authors are trying to lead you down.
It was more like the writing team had no plan for this book and just kept going until they came to 300 pages and decided to stop. I sure hope the next one is better.

An ok book. Series is a bit light in the "mystery" department. Enjoyable to read about the restaurant and foods, though.
