A Taste of the Nightlife: A Vampire Chef Mystery (Vampire Chef, #1)

by Sarah Zettel

Charlotte Caine isn't called "the Vampire Chef" because she's a member of New York's undead community-she just cooks for them. Her restaurant, Nightlife, is poised to take the top slot in the world of "haute noir" cuisine.

But when a drunk customer causes a scene, a glowing review from the city's top food critic doesn't seem likely-especially when that customer winds up dead on Nightlife's doorstep. Now, with her brother under suspicion for the murder, Charlotte has to re-open her restaurant and clear her brother's name-before they both become dinner.

Reviews

[MurderByDeath]

Strong start to what could be a very good series. Great mystery, great plot. The three main characters were very clearly established, but a lot of the secondary characters need more time to develop, I think. They didn't feel very strong to me. I'm looking forward to the next book and seeing where the author takes the main three - this is one of those things that's either done really well (Stephanie Plum series) or really annoyingly (Johanna Fluke series).
