reviewed on + 421 more book reviews


I usually do not like "thrillers", but I thouroughly enjoyed this, the first in a series centered around the White House and the goings on in the most important kitchen in the world. Olivia Paras, "Ollie", Assistant Chef becomes embroiled in intrigue and whose life is in danger when she encounters an intruder on the White House lawn and he gives her a cryptic plea....Is there corruption in the Secret Service at the highest level? Is the President the target of an assassin or are the Middle East guests the true targets? Add to the confusion, an unexpected State Dinner and Ollie, seeking a hard fought promotion to Executive Chef. I have already ordered the next book in the series.
