Although this book says "a mystery with recipes" on the cover, it appears that someone (not my friend) tore out the recipes--well, I'm assuming they were at the end of the book and there appears to be pages torn out from there--prior to us getting it. So there were no recipes. Not that most recipes that appear in these books are ones I plan to try anyway, but . . .
Like other reviewers mentioned, I did have trouble keeping all the characters straight. In fact, toward the end, when they discussed that Missy became Anna, I had no idea who Anna was or what she did in the story. Combine that with other characters named Annabel and Joanna and well, . . .just too many similar names and not enough characterization to each character to really keep them all straight (for me anyway).
I felt bad for Trudy (the pug). No one in the story really seemed to care for her except Samantha and maybe Melissa (and maybe Ines too). I think most of the other characters saw Trudy as a means to an end (a business empire, a way to make money, a way into the big leagues, etc.) Poor doggie.
I didn't guess the killer until it was revealed, but I'm also not sure I tried too hard to figure it out since I struggled with "wanting" to continue reading because I didn't really connect with any characters enough to care about what happened. ( )
