Query: Disappointing

Crime Brulee reads like a cross between tourist guides and blurbs from restaurant cookbooks. Much in the book seems contrived - from the alleged difficulty of making a roux to the slowly paced plot development of the "mystery" to sleuth Carolyn's consistently negative impression of everyone but herself and her husband. Maybe Nancy Fairbanks shouldn't have thanked her editor for suggesting that she write a "culinary series." I love food mysteries and adore New Orleans and found Crime Brulee a total disappointment.
