Another oldie that's been languishing on my overflowing bookshelf. Having read the more recent books in the series, it was sort of fun to go back and see how Hayley Snow functioned in the earlier days of the series. As luck would have it, I actually have the newest book on my official review list, so it'll be fun to compare how things changed.
Hayley is more or less volunteered to be a judge of the Key West Topped Chef reality show contest. As food critic for the local paper, that's probably not surprising. What is surprising is that one of the other judges is the one Hayley had just filed a negative review about. That made things tense but that's not the worst of it. He winds up being murdered. That winds up ruining Hayley's more or less first real date with Nathan, the local detective. Long time readers, it was a hoot to be reminded that love isn't always smooth going, let's just say. As this is an oldie, published in 2013, I won't detail the plot much further except to say Hayley finds herself playing amateur sleuth, not to mention uncomfortable in front of the cameras. Hayley isn't the most cautious of sleuths, I must admit, so I'm sure it won't surprise anyone that she winds up being in danger. I must also admit that I didn't figure out whodunit and, in fact, pretty much didn't like any of the suspects as the one. So much for my sleuthing skills. Anyway, a light read and, hey, one more off my extensive TBR list.
