With a new First Family, White House executive chef Olivia Paras can't afford to make any mistakes. But when a box of take-out chicken mysteriously shows up for the First Kids, she soon finds herself in a "no-wing" situation. After Olivia refuses to serve the chicken, the First Lady gives her the cold shoulder. But when it turns out to be poisoned poultry, Olivia realizes the kids are true targets.
The best one in the series! Buffalo West Wing was interesting from the first chapter. The plot took on a depth you don't often find in cozy mysteries, and towards the end I found myself snapping at whomever interrupted my reading. The culprits were a bit of a surprise to me, which I always enjoy, and I love the re-introduction of Gavin. He was the only male character in this series that ever pricked my interest and I hope he's back for the long haul. The romance between Ollie and Tom always left me totally flat, and I'm glad things have changed between them.
Why not 5 star? Virgil. He was immature, petulant and I don't think his presence in the storyline added anything at all to the story.
I can't wait to open the next book and see what happens next.
