i like "Mad" Bean. She is a fun character and so are her friends.

The books are quick reads.

This one deals with the first function handled by her new company - a breakfast for 2,000 people and the Pope! Madeline's first love, and ex-fiancee, shows up, asking for her help in compiling a recipe book containing old recipes from the Jesuit Priests (now we know why he is an ex-fiancee). They come across a portion of an old journal, composed in Latin, from a brother saying he had killed someone and referred to a plot against the Pope. Thinking it to be old, they decide to do some research. Between compiling the recipes, doing research on the journal, finalizing the details for the Pope's breakfast, dealing with being dumped by her current boyfriend, seeing her ex-fiancee after 10 years, and also harboring feelings for the policeman who works the case - well Madeline is busy, to say the least!
