Book Description
Jordan McAllister can't cook her way out of a macaroni & cheese box, but filling in for the culinary reporter at The Ranchero Globe is better than writing personal ads. Her first assignment to review the new steakhouse in town is a disaster that ends with her waiter murdered outside her door-with her name and number in his pocket. Now Jordan is the prime suspect, as well as the main course on the murder menu.

A lovely sleuth!, Oct 20 2011
By Foreverwriter - Published on Amazon.com
What a wonderful story, with likeable characters and twists that will keep you guessing until the end. For me, the cast of characters were a delightful treat. Jordan isn't only likeable, she's a darling. And the others who live in her apartment complex are just as endearing. Mixing humor, murder, and great food, Ms. Lipperman has a hit on her hands. I can't wait for her next book!

A clueless cook writes the Kountry Kupboard culinary column, Oct 12 2011
By F. Yoder "F. Yoder, mystery lover" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Liver Let Die (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is the first in the A Cluelass Cook Mystery, by new author Liz Lipperman.Liver Let Die is a very entertaining addition to the mystery genre.
Jordan McAllister has always dreamed of being a sports columnist. After breaking up with her boyfriend, she has moved to the small Texas city of Ranchero, TX and has gotten a job at Ranchero Globe. Okay, she is writing personal ads for the paper, but she has hopes. The culinary columnist has just broken her hip and will be rehab for six weeks. Jordan is offered the opportunity to take over her column, The Kithen Kupboard. there's the problem, Jordan's idea of cooking is to put something in the microwave and hit start. The second problem is that the first review she is asked to do is The Longhorn Prime Rib and she has an aversion to red meat. So she agrees, hoping that the job she really wants will open up.
Jordan lives at the Empire Apts. along with a real cast of characters that really shine. Rosie the fiftyish something seller of handmade jewelry, Michael, Victor, Lola a local psychic and Ray a retired cop.
Jordan heads off on her first assingment and Jordan explains to her waiter, JT, that she does not eat red meat and ask what else is on the menu that is good. She goes with JT's suggestion and when he returns with the entree, she asks what is it. Well the thought of being able to enjoy foie gras, ranks up there with red meat. She promtly stuff it in her first and offers her compliments. In the morning she is awakend to find that her waiter is found dead in the lobby of her aprtment with her name and phone number in his pocket.
The author skillfully provides the reader with several possible killers, all with reason to do it. Could it be the college football star, the local lawyer who might also have a bookie business on the side. Jordan and her neighbor must pull out their playbooks and work on their game plan before time expires---for someone else.
A very fun read and I am looking forward to the next book.

Nice Neighbors, Great Food, what's not to like?, Oct 31 2011
By Donnell A. Bell "Writers world" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Liver Let Die (Mass Market Paperback)
Jordan McAllister is about as worthy a protagonist as I've read in some time. On the rebound from an old flame, she longs to use her journalism degree to write sports columns for newspapers. Unfortunately, life's been rough and she ends up in Ranchero, Texas, barely earning a living, writing personal ads and subsisting on fast food and Hostess Ho Hos.Jordan's big break finally comes when she's summoned to the editor's office Dwayne "Big Ears" Egan. Egan needs someone to fill in for the culinary reporter who's on leave. Ms. Lipperman takes a sports writer who knows nothing about food, and even less about cooking and make her a food critic.
With the help of her fantastic neighbors the author pulls if off, including some fantastic exotic recipes that even I can make. I can't wait for the next book in this series. Liz Lipperman has a new fan.
