 Finding Florence (Chicago Culinary Mystery #3) Genre: To quote the author: “outrageous cozies” that “push the boundaries of what we consider ordinary behavior” Rating: mild Irene is back in town. And Henny’s life is a mess. Irene has flown to Chicago from France in her preferred high style – a private jet. She was accompanied by the owner of the aircraft, her longtime, on again-off again-on again amour, the handsome but mysterious billionaire Chance Charpentier. The reason for the trip? Her infamous “voices” have told her that something is horribly amiss with a person dear to her. When she arrives, she learns that a death notice for Florence Sherman, her sometime friend, previous neighbor, and member of an historic Chicago family, has been published in the Chicago Tribune. When she calls Florence’s daughter, Alice, Irene’s “voices”-inspired suspicions are confirmed by the strange way Alice and her husband are handling the death. And once Irene discovers her friend’s body is missing, the diva chef refuses to leave until she solves the mysterious disappearance. But, as long as Irene is in Chicago, Henny’s successful “From My Mother’s Kitchen” TV cooking show, and her precious time with Patrick, husband of her dreams, are seriously compromised by Irene’s insistence that finding Florence trumps any other concerns. So Henny struggles to balance Irene’s demands with the rest of her life and to actually find Florence, dead or alive, so Irene will go back to France. Irene’s certainty that the past holds the key to Florence’s disappearance brings in a bit of Chicago history, and food references enliven the text. An appendix of recipes from both Irene and Henny’s mom is included.
