When a new President is elected everyone on the White House staff gets a little nervous. Then when White House Executive Chef, Olivia refuses to serve some buffalo wings that were left in the kitchen as a gift for the children of the new first family, she finds her job in peril. The first family decides to bring in their own chef who will be in charge of all their meals, and the new guy definitely has his sights on Olivia's job and he's not above playing dirty to get it. Meanwhile a terrorist group has targeted the first family and think the children are the perfect way to advance their agenda. This series is kind of addictive. Olivia is a smart heroine even if the heroes of the piece are occasionally TSTL. Despite being book four it still works and is somehow both fresh and charming. This was a new mystery author for me. I loved all the information about bringing in a new family to live in the White House as President and the staff preparations.. Although, this is a fiction story by the author, I think she may know some details about the workings of the kitchen. This was a suspenseful story with the family bringing in a new chef for their private dinners and the real head chef having to cope with him and the regular workings of the main kitchen for all White house state dinners. I liked the female chef, m.c. and her staff from the beginning but the new chef caused a lot of problems and surprisingly was not involved in the suspense near the end. I liked the build up of the suspense and the action. I would recommend this to mystery lovers and it has recipes at the end as many culinary mysteries do.
Again, I can't get enough of the series. I read three right in a row and I love them.
