There's a great deal going on in "The Fatal Family Feast". Main character Angie's business partner Felicity is getting married. Angie is Maid-of-Honor. Head chef Estebe is the groom-to-be. That means shuffling work schedules and bringing in temporary help which upsets the dynamics of the workplace. In the meantime, there has been a murder and Estebe is the main suspect. The murder victim? Felicity's former boyfriend, Jason, a man her father had pegged to take over the family business. All this before the restaurant is even vandalized. What next? Who killed Jason and why? Why is Felicity's father refusing to walk her down the aisle?
I won't say any more about the plot as it'll be detailed elsewhere but I particularly enjoyed the side stories about the characters' past and inter-connections, particularly the one involving a foster child. These little revelations helped make them more real to the reader and made you care that much more about their lives and futures.
Bottom line, this is really a story that is as much about family as it is a murder investigation. Watching Angie pull in clues and information from various sources is only half the fun, of course, as there is also that wedding and boyfriend Ian is thinking that he'd like her to meet his family in England. What does this all mean for Angie? I'm not telling. You'll need to read the book to find out.
Thank you #NetGalley and #KensingtonBooks for letting me reenter Angie's world once again with the ARC.
