Things aren't going well for Jake Russo. He's been transferred from Sarasota to New Orleans, and he's had to leave his reporting beat and girlfriend behind. Now he's a lonely food critic--not the best job for a man who's on a diet.

But things get worse when a mysterious death occurs at the trendiest new restaurant in the city. Jake has to explore the world of traditional New Orleans cuisine, brave the new frontier of "molecular gastronomy," and handle the police in order to solve the case. His octogenerian cameraman tags along for the ride and discovers his own new talents.

As Jake investigates the murder, he'll learn the truth about New Orleans food, discover when to fake it to make it, and try to figure out what--and who--he really loves.

As sweet as a drive-thru daiquiri and as strong as a Hurricane, this light mystery is cooked to perfection.

3,0 su 5 stelle Jake just gets better and better
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 20 giugno 2011

This book is better crafted than the first Jake Russo book, but the author still does not make the most effective use of dalogue. An exception is for the new and improved sidekick, Gary. I like the characters and hope there will be more Jake Russo books...set in Florida! Well...Gary's wife is there and so is Mel so it sounds like the guys ought to head home. Before they do, Mr. Edwards should spend a few weeks in Sarasota and on the Gulf Coast!

Poor ol' Jake Russo can't buy break. Formerly obese, he slimmed down during his Sarasota assignment and met a gal. So, what does the Times do? They send him to New Orleans to be a food critic of all things.

Fortunately for the reader, they've also assigned his geriatric sidekick Gary to go along as Jake's photographer. Gary's also blogging about food these days and (hilariously) has become something of a internet sensation.

Of course, it's not long before a famous chef is murdered. The cops call it an accident, but Jake and Gary don't buy it.

The Jake Russo books are a tad old fashioned in their approach to the murder mystery and the reader may well puzzle out the ending long before our heroes do, but the relationship between Jake and Gary keeps it very fresh. Gary's propensity for saying exactly the wrong thing, combined with Jake's native insecurities (especially where it comes to the dames) make for very entertaining reading.

If you're in the mood for some (very) light reading and enjoy a few laughs along with your murder, then DEATH BY GUMBO is for you.

5,0 su 5 stelle Jake & Gary are AWESOME!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 7 agosto 2013

This was the first book in the Jake Russo series that I read. As soon as I finished it I started reading "Retirement can be murder" (which is actually the first book in the series). The books revolve around Jake Russo who is a reporter for a NY newspaper and his strange (and totally endearing) photographer Gary.

I love New Orleans (my favorite book ever is "A Confederacy of Dunces" by John Kennedy Toole) and I travel there quite often. So, I was happy to find a fun mystery book that took place in New Orleans. In this book Jake has recently been forced (by the newspaper he works for) to relocate from Sarasota, FL to NOLA. He is not very happy about the move (as he left his wonderful girlfriend Mel behind) nor is happy about being a food critic. Jake recently lost a lot of weight and New Orleans food, though delicious, is probably not the best for the waistline. So, Jake and Gary are loose in New Orleans. They are invited to the opening of a fancy new restaurant. But, something horrible happens at the restaurant... and Jake just has to get to the bottom of it. There are a few cool twists and surprises along the way too.

I am now reading yet another Phil Edwards book - also a Jake Russo mystery - "Dead Air Can Kill You". I just met Gary's wife Meryl and WHOA!! She is a fantastic counterpart to Gary.

Check this series out!

2,0 su 5 stelle Silly story awful character
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 4 agosto 2013

The main character is a food critic who knows nothing about food. Of course the author doesn't know anything about food either. Key premise in the story (spoiler alert) there is only one classic recipe for Gumbo. Fact: there are about as many recipes for Gumbo as there are chefs who make it.. All however, begin with a roux. Gumbo is made several times in this book and never with a roux. The main character breaks up with his girlfriend for no good reason and then says she broke up with him and SHE AGREES! The side kick's malapropisms are just foolish especially since we are supposed to believe he is a world renowned blogger. No one acts in a way that I would believe anyone would act. The author acts like he hates New Orleans has no understanding of its culture or its food. and tells an uninteresting story with awkward writing. It's not the very worst mystery I've read but I was wishing for a story that took me to NO and celebrated it's cooking and this book just was not that.

This is a competent book with lots of New Orleans flavor. I didn't finish reading it because I just couldn't bring myself to care about the main character and his romantic troubles. I liked the reporter's photographer better, and I wish he had been the main character. I'd be glad to read more books by Phil Edwards if they are not about the neurotic Jake Russo. (by Sandra)
