by Joanne Pence Angie Amalfi, a gourmet chef with several ideas on how to improve the industry, cannot keep her nose of out others' business, especially when it involves her homicide detective boyfriend, Paavo Smith. This time, she's getting involved with helping her boyfriend understand where he came from, following the loss of an heirloom that was given to her by Paavo, who had gotten it from his mother, who abandoned him. The antique brooch was the only thing stolen at an antique jewelry repair shop and the jeweler was murdered in the process. What is the significance of this brooch? Why are people who are close to Paavo being hurt and burglarized? Paavo, with the help of Angie, goes on a quest to find out about his past and see how it will influence his future. Despite Angie being the main character of several other books, she just doesn't fit into To Catch a Cook. That is the main problem that this reader has with the book. Paavo is not developed enough in To Catch a Cook for readers to really want to care about his past and why he is searching for it. However, the mystery of the brooch and what happens because of it is interesting and entertaining. The mystery is not easily soluble for readers, and that enhances the interest and entertainment value of To Catch a Cook. |
