From Library Journal

Cookbook author and sometime sleuth Darina Lisle cohosts a new television cooking show that quickly becomes a hit. One of her costars dies on camera, apparently coincidentally, but a second death arouses suspicions. A solid series.

From Booklist

Life is good for British cookbook writer Darina Lisle. She's engaged to policeman William Pigram, her cookbooks are selling like hotcakes, and she's just been hired to host a television cooking show, Table for Four. But the minute Darina shows up on the set, things begin to go wrong. There's tension between her costars; she finds herself attracted to outspoken Australian wine expert Bruce Bennett; the show's financial manager is at war with the producer; and Darina's helper shows signs of domestic abuse. As if that's not enough, William is feeling neglected and wants more attention from Darina. But all these problems pale when Bennett suddenly collapses and dies on the set. The medical examiner's verdict is death from natural causes, but Darina suspects foul play. Competent writing, an unusual plot, and a pleasant heroine make this a better-than-average British cozy that's both stylish and entertaining.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Good story/good writer/bad editing, Aoû 31 2000
Par Patricia L. Meeks (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Death at the Table (Hardcover)
This book is an excellent example of good story marred by the many grammatical, syntactical mistakes which should have been corrected, if not by the author, by the editorial staff of either Macmillan, its English publisher, or St. Martin's Press in this country. Wading through the zillion run-on sentences, as well as the same number of comma splices became so distracting, due to the fact that so many sentences and paragraphs had to be reread, that I ceased to care just "who done it" and turned to the book's final pages. This is too bad, since her last work of fiction (Cannaletto and the Westminster Bridge) was quite good indeed.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A culinary mystery that is absolutely delicious, Avril 2 1997
Par Un client
This review is from: Death at the Table (Hardcover)
English cookbook author Darina Lisle is extremely excited over being invited to be one of the star presenters of a new London TV food series, Table For Four. Joining Darina on the panel is egotistical wine connoisseur, Bruce Bennett, who manages to charm all the ladies associated with the show, including Darina. Of course, all the men hate the Australian narcissist. The show is a monster hit with the viewing audience until Bruce dies (literally) on TV. Without the charismatic Bruce, most of the TV industry believes that the show is doomed to fail. ....... When a second person also dies, Darina, an amateur detective, begins to suspect a murderer is on the show. In spite of the warnings from her fiance, Detective William Pigram, Darina starts to investigate the two deaths. However, as she gets closer to the truth and the identity of the assailant, Darina has to wonder if she has placed herself in jeopardy of becoming the next victim? ........ Fans of gourmet mysteries will dine on this tasty morsel from Janet Laurence. The story line of DEATH AT THE TABLE is fast-paced, exciting, and filled with unexpected twists, while Darina is an intriguing amateur female detective. Readers who enjoy a culinary who-done-it will relish this delectable novel. .......Harriet Klausner
