Annie and Eve are life-long best friends who have absolutely nothing in common-except a lack of skill in the kitchen. So when they sign up for a cooking class at the local gourmet shop, they figure the only things at risk are a few innocent fruits and vegetables. But on the first night, Annie and Eve see their fellow student Beyla arguing with a man-a man who later turns up dead in the parking lot. Now the friends feel bound to uncover whatever secrets she's hiding, before someone else's goose-perhaps one of their own-gets cooked. -- From Amazon.com

Wow... I don't have much to say about this book.  It was quick, it was predictable, it was fun.  There wasn't anything really wrong with it.  It just wasn't an amazing book.  That's all.  The one part that I really liked--the character of Annie.  She's normal, but just neurotic enough to make her interesting and quirky.  I loaned out the other books in the series, but have decided to pause and pick up a different book.
