This is the second in the Professor Teddy Morelli series. The one I read previously was a later effort. At first I thought the story and the character were not nearly as well developed or well written as the other but as I neared the end, it was very richly developed, carefully plotted with suprising twists.

The title might indicate to some it is about cooking or dining but in reality its about agro-research, the development and marketing of a naturally chocolate flavored coffee and most persons who enjoy the subgenre of gardening and herbalist.

While its basically a cozy there's enough violence to please those who prefer their mysteries with mayhem.
