Some cozies i like, the majority not so much. This is one of my favorites series. While I generally find it relatively easy to identify the bad guy(s) that doesn't really diminish my enjoyment of the books. I like the setting (behind the scenes in the White House kitchen), the characters, the general plot and I am interested enough in the why the bad guy did it to overcome the fact that I know that is. Having been a fan of the tv show 24, Hail to the Chef has had me on pins and needles ever since the first “accident” happened. The further into the book I got, the more suspicious I became of almost every one involved. This offering from Julie Hyzy gives us insight to the preparation of the White House during the holiday season and how busy all those who work there are. It also shows what deceit there can be when money and a desire to become more powerful there can be, even between life long friends. The further into the book I got, the tighter my nerves got and by the end, if my coffee cup had been Styrofoam, I would have been wearing my coffee. This book was heart pounding almost from the beginning to the very end. I’m sure glad we have those brave men and women protecting the White House and those who reside and work there and all those who protect us and our freedom daily. Thanks Julie for another great read. I’m looking forward, as soon as my nerves settle down, to reading the next one in the series.
What do You think about Hail To The Chef (2008)?
What fun! Hyzy's books are worth reading. I truly enjoy this series.
