1: A Four Course Delight
What a wonderful way to drop in on some of your favorite sleuths, by putting them together in this tasty collection. Four short novels with a single theme - food! - featuring popular series characters who know their way around a kitchen. The #1 treat was "Cake Job", which only whets the appetite for Jane Rubino's next full-length book - but it satisfies the sweet tooth and tickles the funny bone when Cat and Co. get stuck between a hit man with a ravenous appetite and his target with a knack for cookery.

2: Great Novellas
I injoyed all these 4 novellas about food and mystery---always a good combination. It was a kick to watch what kind of trouble Nick and Julia Lambros and their quirky friends get into. Cat Austen from Jane Rubino's Cake Job was another favorite in this collection. Good reads all around.

3: Don't waste your money!
I'm a huge fan of the Iakovous, and eagerly buy their books in hardcover. But this sucker is going right back to Amazon. Although advertised as "4 novels in 1", it is actually 4 SHORT STORIES ... I don't consider 80 tiny pages a NOVEL. Hope the Iakovous find a better publisher (their series is truly wonderful) and don't waste your money on this. If I'd bought it as short stories I might feel differently, but I just feel cheated so am returning it. Yuck!
