I'd probably give this one 2.5 stars if you could give 1/2 stars on Goodreads. This picked up a bit toward the end, but it took me FOREVER to get thru. I thought Suzanne was a bit too over the top in her blatant "investigating" and couldn't drum up much feeling for her one way or the other. There are some really wonderful sounding recipes in here, so that's definitely a saving grace. Due to the fact that it got better at the end, I'll give the 2nd one a shot, but if it's as slow going for me as this one was I'll pass on any more.
