Maggie Price is a tough workaholic detective with the San Francisco Police Department and works in the homicide division. Recently divorced, she lives with her mother and thirteen-year-old daughter Abigail. A casual date turns into an encounter with the gourmet detective Henry Ross, who portrays himself as a charming and confident man with a refined taste for food. They are thrown together when an investigative journalist dies at a restaurant owned by Henry's friend. All guests are suspects, including Henry, but he is paired up with Detective Maggie Price because he knows everyone and everything about the food industry in town.
A well-made mystery with a pairing of two people from differing walks of life and quite a clash, hence the bantering. The mystery is well done, quite engaging, and the characters are sharply etched, however Detective Maggie Price can be a little severe in her attitude, which can be grating. Overall, though, an above average mystery.
