Review: Uncompelling read
Rating: 2 out of 5

Catered to Death had the underpinnings of a solid who-dun-it murder mystery, there were interesting subplots, but the story itself could use some well-muscled editing, and the last segment of the book was grossly unsatisfying.It was as if the author too had a mid-life crisis herself while writing the book and just wanted to get out of the storyline, dumping the reader unceremoniously by the wayside. Unbelievable cheapshot ending. Not a cliffhanger, but throw the reader over the cliff type of ending. Not buying it. Generically weak characters, and a shaky writing style detract from the already compromised storyline.Having worked with many topnotch caterers, it's safe to say that real caterers do not bring their grandmother's heirloom silver to a school luncheon, no matter how classy. Meh.
