Red Beans and Vice book. I really like Lou Jane Temple' mysteries, lots of twists, culinary information and a tricky plot. Not much of a sleuth this Heaven Lee, and who in their right mind would change their name from Katherine O'Malley to that ridiculous moniker?! A mildly amusing tale. Certainly better than Revenge of the Barbeque Queens by the same author.

The initial entry in Lou Jane Temple's Heaven Lee culinary mysteries is what many readers relish: a cleverly constructed mystery, larger than life characters and off the wall recipes. I wonder if many readers every try them? Anyway, Heaven is a delightful heroine, down to earth, married six times, and in danger of losing her cafe.

Although not as good as "A Stiff Risotto." This is much better than the other's in the series.
Heaven Lee, 45ish, once widowed, 4 times divorced, disbarred lawyer, ex-stripper and current restaurant owner, has gone to New Orleans to visit her friend Mary Whitten and to cook up some dishes for the Sisters Of The Holy Trinity annual benefit dinner.
Things aren't going well for the sisters. Someone has stolen their prized crucifix, which the original sisters had brought with them from France hundreds of years before, put thousands of termites on their antique wooden staircase and are generally trying to mess up their celebration.
Things can't get worse when at the celebration dinner, Mary's husband Truely is murdered, stabbed with one of Heaven's knives.
Is this just one more thing to ruin the sister's celebration or is there something else? Do the nasty letters, Heaven had received at her restaurant have anything to do with it? Whatever it is, Heaven is determined to find out who killed her friends husband.
What I liked about this book is that there are not the dozens of characters that she has in many of her books. That sometimes made it difficult to follow the storyline. This one only had a few additional characters and made for a very easy read.
The mystery was good, although I did figure out the killer, but it was close to the end of the book so it didn't matter.
Heaven is very funny in this book. The image of her walking into the police station with a dead bird to have them do a match on the bullet that killed it really had me laughing.
The only downside to this story is that she doesn't use her reoccuring characters enough. Except for Murray - who takes over running her restaurant when she's gone, and Hank, her twenty years younger boyfriend, the other characters are hardly heard from at all.
And you don't get a clear description of any of the characters. I'm still not really clear on what Heaven looks like.
The amount of profanity in the book has decreased. I still wouldn't consider this a cozy mystery.

I just got hooked into this series. so far I have read almost all of them. Don't know how it got by me but it is a good brain candy type of book. You sit and read and forget all the stuff around you.

Heaven Lee is invited to New Orleans to be a guest chef at a swank fund raising dinner for the Sisters of the Holy Trinity. Before she can even get packed, Heaven receives a vicious crank letter that could ruin the reputation of her Kansas City restaurant if it gets into the wrong hands. But going to New Orleans could be great publicity for her restaurant, so it's off the Big Easy. Almost as soon as she hits town, problems crop up. The planning meeting is disrupted by a loud mouthed local celebrity with a grudge. Mysterious and menacing people are lurking around her friends, Mary (an old law school chum of Heaven's) and Truely Whitten (successful owner of the largest coffee importing company in Louisiana). And to top it off, the Sister's lovely Convent building is vandalized and a priceless crucifix is stolen!

Heaven smells disaster for the future success of the fundraiser and reluctantly steps in to try and make sense of these seemingly unrelated incidents before it's too late.
She meets and befriends a former Madame, Nancy Blair, who knows a lot about the hidden skeletons of the society elite in town. She is squired to all the best night spots by handsome, smooth talking, Southern gentleman T. Wilson Tibbetts, who is Truely's best friend.
But murder, conspiracy and plain old greed complicate Heaven's life even further. On the way to solving the mysteries, the reader is treated to some of the most mouthwatering descriptions of delicious sounding Southern food. Many of the actual recipes are included, a trademark of author Lou Jane Temple's scrumptious series featuring Heaven Lee. By all means, read this book. It's a fun, fast paced book and a great addition to the series.

heart of sky

Heaven Lee having been backed out of the legal profession for doing something wrong opened up a Café Heavens Restaurant in Kansas City. To her amazement, Heaven learns she likes to cook and prepare food and soon her restaurant is a success. She has a full house almost every night with many repeat customers. When a nasty letter about her restaurant is sent to Heaven, City Hall and the local newspapers, she is afraid her restaurant's precious reputation will be tarnished.
Thanks to good friends, Heaven is able to keep the note out of the public eye and go to New Orleans with an easy mind. She is part of an outdoor sit down diner to raise funds for the Sisters of the Holy Trinity, one of the oldest convents of the United States. Towards the end of the event one of her closest friend's husband is murdered and Heaven will not rest until she finds the killer.
Lou Jane Temple has created a zany, eccentric and lovable heroine who will go that extra mile for anyone she cares about. The mystery is well drawn out and it is doubtful anyone will guess the identity of the perpetrators although when they are finally revealed it makes sense. RED BEANS AND VICE is a colorful culinary who-done-it that is a feast to read.
