Brooklyn has always been a little obsessed with food, but it was her sister Savannah who became a chef, graduating from the prestigious Cordon Bleu school in Paris. She and her classmates all went on to successful careers, but none of them achieved culinary superstardom like Savannah's ex-boyfriend Baxter Cromwell. When Baxter invites the old gang to participate in his new restaurant's gala opening in San Francisco, Savannah asks Brooklyn to restore a tattered cookbook as a present for him. Shortly after receiving the gift, Baxter is found dead, with Savannah kneeling over him, bloody knife in hand, and the rare cookbook has disappeared. Brooklyn knows her sister didn't kill him, and she suspects the missing cookbook might lead to the real villain.

      Blending a love of food and a love of books, this delightful cozy mystery features Brooklyn, a professional bookbinder, and her sister, Savannah, a Cordon Bleu-trained chef. Susie Berneis gamely bestows each newly introduced character with a distinctive voice, from the most sonorous--for Brit Derek, Brooklyn's significant other--to a breathy Marilyn Monroe pitch for Savannah. Berneis lends the mystery warmth and humor, and the author imparts interesting details on bookbinding and restoration. Savannah's ex-boyfriend, Baxter, hosts a gala to celebrate the opening of his new restaurant, and she asks Brooklyn to restore a rare and valuable eighteenth-century cookbook as a gift for the occasion. Murder, cryptic codes, and ulterior motives ensue. A.W. (c) AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine

      In chapter one of Carlisle’s well-plotted seventh bibliophile mystery (after 2012’s Peril in Paperback), book binder Brooklyn Wainwright agrees to repair a handwritten cookbook dated 1774 for her sister, Savannah. Savannah plans to give it to her former boyfriend, celebrity TV chef Baxter Cromwell, at the opening of his new San Francisco restaurant. Baxter originally gave the rare volume to Savannah while they were both students at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris years before. To Savannah’s surprise, the gift upsets Baxter, who excuses himself from the opening festivities. Soon after, Brooklyn discovers Savannah in the kitchen kneeling over Baxter’s body with a bloody knife in her hand. Confident of her sister’s innocence, Brooklyn sets out to find the real killer. She must also locate the now-missing cookbook, which may hold an important clue. Carlisle keeps the suspense high as Brooklyn sleuths her way through a host of chefs and other suspects to the satisfying resolution. Agent: Christina Hogrebe, Jane Rotrosen Agency.
