Affairs of Steak by Julie Hyzy
Affairs of Steak is the latest installment in the Ollie Paras (White House chef) series. I love the character of Ollie, who's feisty, intelligent and quick on her feet. In this tome, Ollie and Peter Sargent (director of sensitivity at the White House--and not one of Ollie's favorite people)have been forced to work together on a party for the secretary of state. While visiting one of the possible party venues, they discover the bodies of 2 White House staffers. Soon, someone is coming after Ollie and Peter, forcing them to band together, despite their mutual dislike.
This volume also slowly moves forward Ollie's semi-romance with secret service agent Gav. I do wish Hyzy would get rid of Ollie's old boyfriend, Tom, who is always giving her grief even though he has moved on with an old girlfriend.
I like the whole premise of this series, showing life behind the scenes at the White House. And this is a worthy new chapter in the life of the indomitable Ollie.
