An attractive sous chef at the famous L’Elfe is murdered and half of the employees are suspect. Lacking confidence in the police to solve the murder, Chef Jean Bouvier seeks a quicker solution. He hires private eyes James Lessor and Skip Moore to go undercover and discreetly investigate his restaurant staff. But their investigation turns up far more than they bargained for. Skip’s girlfriend, Emily, confesses that the murder victim and she had been close friends at one point in their lives and had shared a very dark secret.
But Emily refuses to elaborate, building a wall of defense between herself and the two young detectives. The more James and Skip investigate the background of the victim and the people she knew, the more they are convinced that this shared secret has far-reaching implications that may lead to the motive for the murder.
The closer they get to the answer, the more desperate someone is to stop them.

" What a fun read! I recieve this book as a giveaway and was pleasantly surprised. The characters are fun to follow and full of humor. "
" I enjoyed reading this. It took a little while to get into it but once I did I didn't want to put it down. My only complaint was the silly phrases used by the main character James. I almost started counting how many times he called someone amigo! "
" Sorry, no. Twenty-five year olds, no matter how cool or mature, not not refer to each other as "boyfriend" or "amigo. I stopped reading after the ridiculous dialogue. "
" if you want to read about unrealistic clueless slacker wannabe detectives, this is the book for you. "
" Another fun installment in the Lessor and Moore mystery series. Set in a the fancy South Miami restaurant, L'Elfe... Hot Stuff combines a murder and a Food Network setting for a delicious delight. "
