Skye Denison s a high school psychologist. She just has to admit that she must stop trying to save everyone and admit that some people were beyond her power to help. Why had she ever let Xenia Craughwell write for the school newspaper, The Scoop? Xenia had been kicked out of several school and now an article she wrote has caused the school and the newspaper are about to be sued for libel. Her mother has convinced her to enter a baking contest using one of her mother's original recipes. She has already entered Skye's name and May's Chicken Supreme Casserole has made it to the finals. May also entered Skye's brother and uncle in the competition, and they, too, advanced to finals of Grandma Sal's Cooking Challenge. The contest is plagued by vandalism...and murder, and Skye investigates a kidnapping and a mysterious wealthy father of her current boyfriend. The cover of this book is scrumptious; the title is cleverly apt; and the intrigue, suspense, and Skye's family, friends, and school connections make this one a recommended read..especially for chocoholics.
