If you are looking for a slightly different take on a culinary cozy mystery, this is the debut to read. — Carstairs Considered
"Warm and cool, sassy and savvy, GP Gottlieb has written a murder mystery that is as interesting as the family dynamic itself — exploring its alliances, intrigues and the possibility of how people can protect, surprise, and, quite literally — kill each other. A fun, delicious read!" – Marcy Heisler, theatrical lyricist
