Hail to the Chef by Julie HyzyMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I discovered Julie Hyzy and the White House Chef Mystery Series not that long ago. I really like it.
In this book, the second in the series, it is Thanksgiving and there are alot of things going on at the White House. Someone ends up dead, and it effects the staff and family in the White House.
This was a little different in alot of respects, one is that the "boyfriend" of our lead character is not in this book at all. There is none of the relationship tensions that you normally see in a cozy, and that is really nice for a change.
The First Lady's nephew "commits suicide" at the beginning of the book, which throughs everyone off, I mean when has that ever happened, and no one can believe it was a suicide, it doesn't fit or work. So of course Ollie is looking into things, and it's not that she is trying to find the killer or investigate, like alot of cozy mysteries, it's just that she questions what is going on and her mind needs answers, and when the ends don't match up right, she is not the type of person to just walk away and let it go. She tends to get in trouble with the Secret Service because she refuses to accept explanations that don't make sense.
I love this series because she is just a normal person asking normal questions, and in that course she ends up in the middle of the investigation.
