4 STARS MY REVIEW- Good & Bad Surprises to eat to !
Lily Good really does deserve her last name of Good. She was a former detective for many years. And her boyfriend Detective Lance Phillips, is a great guy who is all in when it come to helping her. She thinks and hopes that she's just overthinking danger when it comes to her best friend, Maggie Jones just vanishes. But Lily's spot on when she keeps thinking that's something wrong when she can't get a hold of Maggie. Pete and Helena are kitchen helpers who are there for whatever she needs in the kitchen and elsewhere. Joseph Kennedy is the skilled chef who works in Lily's kitchen and she's thrilled to be able to get him !
It sounds like Violet, is Lily's daughter but I'm not sure because this being my first story in this series but she is someone that Lance will have to charm if he's going to finally get anywhere with Lily. That made me smile. There were other times when I smiled in the story but there was also a surprising twist when it came to what was going on about, where is Maggie?
On a final note, I was surprised and thrilled that recipes like, "Strawberry Salad Recipes''
were included with each chapter. I never heard of, Kimchi Rice before but there is a recipe in the book about . Now I just have to find that rice, because I want to try it !
