Deva's boyfriend, police lieutenant Victor Rossi, has misgivings about her promising jobespecially when he accompanies her to one of Francesco's dinner parties. After Francesco returns a dish to the kitchen untasted, the chauffeur promptly scarfs it down and drops dead from cyanide poisoning.
Has the killer made a terrible mistake and murdered the wrong person? Or was the dead man the intended victim? The only thing Deva knows for certain is someone present that night committed murder. And it seems everyonefrom the dinner guests to the kitchen helphas a motive.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5From the title, I thought it would be a culinary mystery but it is more of an interior design mystery.Interior designer, Deva Dunne, has just finished designing her neighbor Chip's restaurant. She and her boyfriend, a police detective named Rossi, are set to enjoy a meal there when there's an explosion. Chip's landlord, Francesco Grandese, then hires Deva to design his Rum Row mansion. Deva is excited for the "money is no object" opportunity. Soon she's more embroiled in Grandese's life than she wants to be, over the objections of Rossi.I didn't guess who the real killer was until it was revealed. There was a lot of double-dealing going on between many of the main characters so things weren't always as they seemed. I hope that Chip and AnabelleAnn will make it. It seemed he loved her more than she loved him--but maybe she's seen the light and will appreciate what she has. I was also glad that Chip might get the money he found. After everything that happened to him, he deserves some good news.I was surprised Nikhil was allowed to pain his rented space. I always thought that it wasn't allowed in rented apartments. I hope Paolo and Lee make it too. I wonder how long they will spend in Paris. It sure sounds like Deva needs her as an assistant--or at least Deva needs another assistant since her store was closed more than it was open and that can't be good for business. I wonder if Deva got her $100K from the check she cashed or if she had to give it back as part of the investigation.
