Blurb (from back cover): "Between her latest "sure-fire" foray into the food industry-video restaurant reviews-and her concern over boyfriend Homicide Detective Paavo Smith's depressed state, Angie Amalfi's plate is full to overflowing. Paavo has never come to terms with the fact that his mother abandoned him when he was four, leaving behind only an antique brooch to remember her by. But when the bauble vanishes, the jeweler who was repairing it is murdered, and Paavo's surrogate father is critically wounded by a would-be burglar, Paavo decides it's time to discover the truth about his errant parent's life and mysterious disappearance. And whenever gourmet chef/eager sluth Angie smells a tasty mystery cooking, she simply can't stay out of the kitchen-even though this spicy case could be a recipe for disaster for Angie and her policeman beau."
Opinion: I had forgotten to post this book earlier. It seemed like it would be a great book but then as I read it, it seemed like everything was just combined with no connections between charachers or plot. The book focuses on Angie and not necessarily on the fact that Paavo wanted to search for the truth of his parents. Still a good mystery as the case is not solved and is not easily predictable.
