Mother-to-be Ellie Haskell knows her days as a thin woman are numbered. As the last pangs of morning sickness barely pass her handsome husband, Ben is invited to compete in a secret society of chiefs for membership in the world's most exclusive club of chefs. Suddenly she is finds herself in Mud Creek, Illinois and living in a gothic mansion straight out of a horror movie. It is no place for a woman in Elle's delicate condition. Danger lurks behind every chafing dish, then murder is added to the menu.

Good cast of charaters, unerring sense of the absurd and witty dialogue & insights.
