Summary: 5 Stars
Just finished French Pressed by Cleo Coyle and I think it's the best of the series so far. Clare's daughter, Joy, is interning at Solange, one of New York's hottest French restaurants. She has made a terrible misstep and gotten herself romantically involved with her boss, the charismatic, older, married head chef at the restaurant. Clare is her mother and horrified, of course, to find out about her daughter's affair. Nevertheless, what 20 year old daughter takes romantic advice from her mother?
Clare can't convince Joy to break off the affair, so she spies on her at the restaurant. The night she comes by for dinner, all heck breaks loose in the kitchen. The head chef is gone missing and the woman he leaves in charge comes down hard on Joy, even waving a knife in her face. Clare intervenes and saves her daughter from possible harm and decides then and there to get herself hired by the head chef, so she can keep an eye on things where her daughter is working.
Then things really get scary. The competitive kitchen turns deadly and Joy is suspected of murdering a co-worker. To clear her daughter of the crime, Clare must enlist the help of her new boyfriend, Detective Quinn.
This is a fast-paced read with many funny moments and just as many emotional highs and lows. It takes you to places in New York City that tourists seldom see. The author really does know the city where she sets her series. I started with On What Grounds and also read Murder Most Frothy (set in the seaside resort of the Hamptons). I will look forward to reading the other books, too. You may want to start at the beginning of the series, as the characters do grow and change. But the author explains things well enough that you will not be lost if you haven't read a previous book. Start here and see if you want to read the entire series. Once you take a sip, you will probably want to drink the while cup. Good job!
