i enjoyed this book alot, a nice combination of chef/restaurant info & the main character is in school for her masters in social work. so a nice blend of interests. the author, jessica's mother is one of my favorite authors of a dog (& cat too) mystery series, susan conant. i thought it was so interesting to see the mother/daughter photo on the jacket. i too, have a daughter getting her masters in social work & could relate to all the social work talk in the book :) have fun reading this series!!   posted Apr 9, 2008 at 8:00PM
