Helpful Score: 4
A few chapters into this book, I almost gave up on it, but I'm glad I didn't. It turned out to be a really good read. In a nutshell, the main character comes in to take over a diner for a good friend who has to have surgery. A local news personality is murdered in the diner and there are a lot of suspects and questions. On top of that, the diner's business is in a slump and the main character needs to change things up. That's where the Ethnic Eats part comes in. As to the mystery, the motive and the villain weren't a total surprise, but I hadn't worked out all the details either. I look forward to reading French Fried, the next book in this series.
