She insists that her husband and Jessica are having a fling and she wants to kill them.  Jim denies that Jessica or Steve would do that to him, but he humors Carla.  He picks her up and they go to Jessica's house.  But when they arrive, they are greeted with something that neither one of them expected. It is horrific.Bon Appétit is a fast-paced thrilling novella with a lot of foul language that really sets the tone for this character driven novella.  Gamble spins a novel that is riveting, suspenseful and delicious.  I look forward to reading more about Jim Money!
