Fed Up (A Gourmet Girl Mystery) by Jessica Conant-Park & Susan Conant


First line in the book:  I peeked in the rearview mirror of my car, touched up my lip gloss, and ran my hands through my hair.

What this book is about (taken from the blurb):

Chloe Carter, part-time student and full-time food lover, is glued to her chef boyfriend, Josh Driscoll, as he competes to star in a new local TV series.  Everything is cooking to perfection - until someone drops dead after eating Josh's homemade cuisine.

The cameras were on Josh the whole time so everyone knows he's innocent.  But someone is guilty.  Was it one of Josh's competitors?  Or maybe it was the deceased's husband?  Or a member of the film crew?

While sifting through the suspects, Chloe also must deal with her best friend's impending wedding, Josh's erratic behavior, and the appearance of one very sexy young carpenter.  The Gourmet Girl is going to have to balance her overflowing plate while trying to catch a food felon...

Fed Up is the fourth book in the Gourmet Girl mystery series.  This book is my favourite so far, in other words, it is right up my gastronomic alley.  Be prepared for a hysterical wedding scene that will make you cackle out loud and a cliff-hanger ending for Chloe Carter.  As for the rest of the story, you will have to read it for yourself.  Again, I love the attractive cover.

I shall look forward to the fifth book out in February 2011 called Cook The Books.  It shall be the last book in the series as there is confirmation that the publisher will not be renewing the series at all.  What a shame!  You can friend Jessica Conant-Park on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/Jumby24?ref=ts

Rating: 2.5/5 (Good)
