There's a new family in the White House, and that means
there is a whole new set of taste buds to please. White
House Executive Chef Olivia "Ollie" Paras is busy making
sure the first meals for the new residents are just right
when she discovers a mysterious batch of take-out chicken
supposedly delivered for the two children of the new
President. Suspicious of this unscheduled delivery, Ollie
makes the decision not to let the kids eat the chicken,
infuriating the First Lady who vows to have Ollie's job.
But when some staff ate the wings and became terribly sick,
they are rushed to the hospital where they are held hostage
by extremists from Armustan who demand the release of their
leader from an American prison. Ollie soon believes that it
was the First Family who were the real targets, but she
must keep mum about her suspicions as she tries to
determine if there is someone on the staff working with the
terrorists to harm the First Family. But will she uncover
the truth in time to prevent a life-altering catastrophe
from occurring?
In BUFFALO WEST WING, Julie Hyzy's latest White House Chef
Mystery, the action centers around a story that could have
been ripped from today's news. Having young children in the
White House does alter how many things are done, and Hyzy's
obvious research into protocol and procedures gives her
story the realistic element that her readers have come to
expect from this top-notch mystery writer.
Adventure, intrigue, and a dash of romance combine for a
delicious cozy that is a delight to read. An added treat -
Hyzy includes nearly 30 pages of recipes for the delectable
dishes mentioned through the book.
