Turkey Flambé by: Nancy Fairbanks
Fiction: mystery, cooking 274 pages 2007
This is a mystery that centers on cooking. There are various recipes in the book that relate to what the people in the book are eating. The storyline is also food based. The mystery starts when a new cook book author has an event for her first book in which she was asked to flambé her famous turkey recipe. Instead of creating the nice effect of a small sized blue flame coming from the turkey for a minute or two the turkeys become giant flaming fire spitting turkeys that are thrown off the balcony in the hopes of stopping the flames and not burning down the building. They are then mistaken as bombs thrown by terrorist as they hit two cars; one of Middle Eastern diplomats and one of the granddaughter of a very powerful man in Chinatown. The police and feds are called in and want to charge the author with multiple crimes for making the bombs (she wasn’t the one who threw them) and so she must prove that she is innocent by finding out who messed with her turkeys. It is a fun book with lots of twists and turns but plenty of hints to make you feel that you can solve the mystery before she does.
