About book Killer Mousse (2008)

It was a cute, harmless read. I haven't read a lot of mystery (except for Sherlock Holmes, which I've read many, many times) so I don't know if my opinion on this is reliable. But, even though I managed to figure out "whodunnit" it was still enjoyable, especially since I read the bulk of it to my wife as she worked in the garden. The fact that it includes recipes just puts the cherry on the sundae. This is a great "first in a series" book, we have a new TV cook, an adorable standard Poodle, a complicated set of relationships and, oh, a murder or two.Della has just been hired to replace Mimi as a TV host for a cooking show. Mimi shows up drunk for the first taping and manages to get herself killed, while on air! And the tension and complications continue from there, getting more convoluted and more dangerous as the story unfolds.I like Della, not too sure I like her new "significant other" but will reserve judgement for another book or two.I'll be reading more in this series.
