Months later, I'm still not sure what it was about this book that I loved so much, but I read it in less than 24 hours, which is a sure sign that the story just really grabbed me and didn't let go until it was over.
The series that "Bones" is based on. Set in Montreal, and much more down-to-earth than TV would have you believe.

Fanny is a sous chef in a well appointed French household..... She finds herself searching for the answers to the murders of a mentor chef (once employed by the King of France) and the maitre d'hotel of the house in which she works.
Throw in the fact that her mother was in attendance of the mob that forced the king & Marie to return to Paris, she comes upon a cache of the Queens stolen jewels in her spice box, a very attractive policeman keeps popping up at inopportune times, her lover (head family chef) is kidnapped, and her dream of owning her own restaurant is finding a way of becoming reality......
Very interesting, yet as the story progressed the murderer was easily sussed out.… (lisätietoja)
