Hoping for some good publicity, Hayley’s boss at Key Zest magazine signs her up to help judge the Key West Topped Chef contest. Stakes are high as the winner could be the next cooking-show superstar.

Hayley shows up for the filming nervous but excited, until she sees who’s on the judging panel with her: Sam Rizzoli, big shot businessman—and owner of the restaurant she just panned in her first negative review. When Rizzoli turns up dead, the police assume his killer is one of his business rivals. But Hayley wonders whether someone is taking the contest a little too seriously. With the police following the wrong recipe, it’s up to Hayley to find the killer before she’s eliminated from the show…permanently.

The quotes at the begining of each chapter are very anoying, the rest is okay.

this series has great escape quality to it, and I love the continuation of characters throughout the series. relationships progress and change, and the mystery keeps you guessing. doesn't fall into predictable pitfalls of some cozies. I love they kept the same narrator.

love this series!!

I love this series and the characters, but this one was less than satisfying. I dislike the quotes at the beginning of chapters. They are distracting and often have very little to do with the chapter to come. But here, she is not only quoting herself, but is even supposedly quoting things her characters wrote. Just plain weird.

I don’t want to give away the ending, but it felt rushed, slapped together and was deeply dissatisfying. I listened to the last few chapters several times as I kept falling asleep. Ending seemed more like a brief outline of the ending rather than an actual climax, conclusion and explanation of the logic and deductions.

Do love the series, location and characters, but the “mystery” in this one played 2nd or 3rd fiddle.

Not as satisfying as usual
