Great book!

I really like Heaven Lee. I think she is open-minded, funny, intelligent, hard-working, strong-willed, and honest; she may be rather brash according to more conservative tastes, but I find her dedication to, concern for, and loyalty towards others admirable and her lifestyle faultless. I found myself caring about her and the other characters and look forward to the rest of the books in the series.

HEAVENLY HASH

The initial entry in Lou Jane Temple's Heaven Lee culinary mysteries is what many readers relish: a cleverly constructed mystery, larger than life characters and off the wall recipes. I wonder if many readers every try them??
Anyway, Heaven is a delightful heroine, down to earth, married six times, and in danger of losing her cafe. Seems like her ex's new girl friend drops dead after eating something in the cafe. Things don't look good for Heaven, as she's the prime suspect. Aided by a motley crew of friends and coworkers, Heaven sets out to unmask the culprit.
While not as well honed as Diane Mott Davidson's culinary heroine Goldie, Heaven Lee is a fun read and I look forward to more of her food mysteries!

At Cafe Heaven, the souffles don't fall, but the bodies do.

Heaven Lee is sassy, brassy, and street-smart. She's also one of Kansas City's premier caterers. With a string of failed careers and stalled marriages behind her, Heaven's finally found her true love-Cafe Heaven, a trendy restaurant on midtown 39th.

Open-mike night at Cafe Heaven gets pretty hairy, but Heaven is shocked when lovely lawyer Tasha Arnold drops dead from poisoning med-dinner. With the law and word-of-mouth threatening to close her down, Heaven does what any chef worth her salt would-she turns sleuth.

But asking questions on a mean street like 39th gets Heaven into hot water. Somewhere out there is a killer who would turn Kansas City's favorite caterer into Kansas City's freshest corpse!

Featuring original recipes for such tempting treats as risotto with mushrooms and asparagus, gingerbread upside-down cake and pumpkin piccadillo.
