Holy Guacamole!
By Nancy Fairbanks
Culinary author
Carolyn Blue is gaining a reputation, not only for her culinary
newspaper column, but also as an inadvertent investigator, solving
crimes the police can't.
This time,
she's up to her ears in guacamole, after donating food to an after-the-opera
celebration, where the opera's artistic director, a local man everyone
loves to hate, stuffs himself and drinks himself into a stupor,
before being found dead the next morning. But it's probably not
the food that killed him at all. Now it's up to Carolyn to prove
it, and get herself and the other food donors off the hook.
In her
book, "Holy Guacamole," Nancy Fairbanks tells a great
story, gives yummy recipes, and wraps it all up in a jazzy southwestern
package. It rates a PG rating, however, for language.
