review 1: Welcome to the rich New York foodie scene, complete with overly long descriptions of every single thing Faith considers eating. Can't believe she is thin, but that's why it is fiction... Too much description of New York City and food. The mystery was just barely a subplot, but that is why I picked it up... Also, I think the story was supposed to be the romance, but that too was a subplot. Kind of a weird arrangement.I didn't understand how Faith's family could be so wealthy was based on a clergyman's income.I really wanted to like this and was sad that I didn't.Note: I listened to the audiobook. Finally put it on 2x because it was just way to long (get on the with story and stop describing the food!). Also, the narrator at times sounded like a computer, especially a... moret the beginning. Kind of weird - never had that with an audiobook before.
review 2: Oh man. This book was terrible. I have no idea how this book ended up on my shelf (library sale?) but I picked it up because I felt like a nice little mystery story..and this book is definitely not that. It's more like a chick lit book with a dead body thrown in it. No one dies until 150 pages in...150 pages into a 230 page book. So you basically get stuck reading about an over- privileged New Yorkers struggle to deal with her successful business, amazing fiancee, and extravagant family and upcoming wedding. Oh an then someone dies. But no one goes out to try to figure out who the murderer was..you just sort of find out by accident (pun intended). And then of course it's quickly back to the life of a privileged New Yorker. Sounds like a great mystery, right? I'm a big fan of cozy mysteries, but this is neither of those, it would be better off stored in the high-class romance section. I suppose I should have been tipped off by the recipes in the back of the book... less
