Don’t Drink the Kool-Aid

Rika’s father, Chef Diego Martín, has finally been able to return to Los Angeles after 15 years, brought over to work in the VIP Center restaurant of the Temple of Microtology by its founders. But, a month later, his sous chef is found dead, Diego, missing. Rika is panicked at the thought of losing her one living parent permanently. All she knows is that she has to find her father, and she needs Nick Owen by her side.

Not one night passed in the last six months that Nick hasn’t lain awake thinking of Rika, even though he’s given up hope she’ll contact him. It’s for the best, anyway. They weren’t right for each other. But when she calls and asks him to fly to L.A., nothing can stop him from racing to her side. And when he sees her again, she’s even more beautiful than she was last summer. However, he may not be prepared for what he discovers in her hometown, like Rika’s formidable grandmother who treats him like molester, the fact that L.A. men find him really, really attractive, or the weird Hollywood cult members who are spying on him and Rika. Oh, and maybe worst of all—LeeAnne.

Nick never wants to see tears in Paprika’s beautiful eyes again. But is there really a chance of finding her father alive and solving the murder before the Microtologists get them, too?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DEAD MEN DON'T EAT QUICHE is the second book in the Martin and Owen mystery series.  While each stands on its own, it is much better to read them in the order of release.

I absolutely loved this cozy little mystery full of family, giggle-fests, and tantalizing romance.  It hits all my favorite buttons in a book.  The whole reason for reading is to escape the worries of real life and enjoy.  Now, if only we could get those recipes mentioned in the book!

There were plenty of nerdy pop-culture references that had me hooting with laughter – or trying to smother while others in the house were sleeping.

I hope this develops into a nice long series of books now that …. Oops I almost gave a spoiler… join me in reading and found out what I was going to say!

Note:  while I was given this book as a gifted copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
