      Synopsis

      The latest in a series with "all the right ingredients-fresh characters, a dash of humor and a sizzling romance."(Elaine Viets)

      Part-time student Chloe Carter is planning her best friend's wedding, working for her parents-and glued to her chef boyfriend, Josh, as he competes to star in a new TV series. The premise: Josh hijacks unsuspecting grocery shoppers and prepares them gourmet dinners. Everything's going great-until one shopper drops dead.

      With the cameras on him from the beginning, Josh is obviously innocent, but Chloe wonders: Was it one of Josh's competitors? Or the deceased's husband? Or someone on the crew?

      Sifting through suspects, Chloe deals with wedding chaos and Josh's erratic behavior. She'll have to balance her plate while trying to catch a food felon...

      Publishers Weekly

      In Conant-Park and Conant's cute fourth Gourmet Girl mystery to feature Chloe Carter (after 2008's Turn Up the Heat), Josh Driscoll, Chloe's chef boyfriend, unwittingly serves up some poisoned lamb on a Boston cable reality TV show, Chefly Yours. Both Josh and Chloe fall ill, but it's Francie, a randomly chosen shopper at the gourmet store Natural High, who eats too much of the digitalis-laced dish and doesn't recover. Was Francie the intended victim or just unlucky? Suspects range from Josh's fellow contestants competing for a new eight-part cooking show to some pranksters who may have taken a joke too far. Preparations for the wedding of Chloe's very pregnant best friend distract "social work's answer to Nancy Drew" from her sleuthing, but not for long. Recipes, some by pro chefs, round out this delectable chick lit cozy, which ends on an emotional cliffhanger for Chloe. (Feb.)

      March 30, 2009: i am tired of becoming invested in stories and charecters then the authors feel they can just break them up. why would chole not go to hawaii with josh and stay behind to help a newly married couple with a baby? it's called interferrence. and i find writers are just not talented enough to keep couples interesting. j.d. robb has done it with eve /rouke and still kept them fresh and interesting.if i wanted real life i would buy NON FICTION! we got robbed

      March 24, 2009: Chloe tags along while her boyfriend tapes a reality-cooking contest. The crew goes to the supermarket, picks a stranger, and then creates a meal in his/her kitchen. While Josh cooks up a superb meal - something goes very wrong.

      First, the contestant hates the meal, and with good reason as it's been poisoned. She dies soon afterwards and all those at the taping are suspected of murder.

      If there's one thing Chloe doesn't need right now on top of her normal life, planning her best friend's wedding, and trying to make time to see her busy chef boyfriend - it's solving a murder. Yet, she needs to solve this case before anything else can happen.

      This is the fourth book in the GOURMET GIRL MYSTERY series for this mother-daughter duo. FED UP is a cute food mystery served with a side of recipes.
