Publisher's Weekly-Rezension
Murder's on the menu at Simmer, a popular Boston restaurant, in the third saucy cozy to feature "gourmet girl" Chloe Parker from daughter-and-mother writing team Conant-Park and Conant (after 2007's Simmer Down). When Leandra, a Simmer server, turns up strangled with her own apron strings in a seafood delivery truck belonging to Owen, the fiance of Chloe's best friend, Adrianna, there are plenty of suspects. Most of the restaurant's staff appear to have despised the petite blonde, who happened to be the girlfriend of Simmer's owner, but did they hate Leandra enough to kill her? Chloe discovers Owen's been lying to Adrianna about something important, and Simmer employees and some of their significant others have a penchant for stealing. The snooping foodie dives deeper into danger as she decides to check out that delivery truck one more time. The authors serve up another delectable dish of detection. (Mar.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

Kirkus-Rezension
Something's fishy at Simmer, that trendy new Boston restaurant, and it's up to a graduate student in social work to sniff out the truth. Though Chloe Carter is studying for her finals, she's never too busy to spend time with overworked executive chef Josh Driscoll, the love of her life and provider of endless free meals. She forges a new connection to Josh's restaurant when she discovers Simmer server Leandra dead in the back of the fish delivery truck driven by Owen, the boyfriend of Chloe's best friend Adrianna, whose pregnancy had already been making her nervous. Leandra was such a nasty piece of work that when Simmer owner Gavin asks Chloe to arrange a memorial service, she has to make up nice things to say. Just about everyone working at Simmer is stealing something: salt and pepper shakers, food, liquor, kitchen equipment. Could the thefts be a motive for murder, or does the answer lie in Leandra's private life? Applying her social-work training, Chloe tries to figure out which member of the staff, all of whom despised Leandra, had the opportunity to do the deed. But only her own near-fatal ride in the fish truck reveals the truth. Chloe's third outing (Simmer Down, 2007, etc.), spiced with mystery, romance and recipes, is an insider's look at life in a restaurant kitchen. Copyright ©Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
Booklist-Rezension
When waitress Leandra turns up dead in the back of a fish truck, Chloe Carter needs to find out who did the foul deed and why. Chloe's boyfriend is chef at the restaurant where the deceased girl worked, and a murder is hardly going to enhance the eatery's chic image, deliberately burnished to attract Boston's elite. This mother-daughter writing team combines a nicely detailed Back Bay setting with plenty of insights into the restaurant business, its kitchen characters, table-service staff, purveyors, and guests. They appreciate the business' unpredictability as demonstrated in recreational drug use in the restrooms and tension arising out of menu-development issues. Recipes appended to the text reflect the eclectic nature of contemporary restaurant cooking and feature chutneys, salsas, and purees. A multipage formula for tamales takes several days to prepare. Recommend this one to fans of foodie crime.--Knoblauch, Mark Copyright 2008 Booklist
