Hot Stuff - a cooking mystery - where's the action is the mystery!

Well, for me this novel is far from Hot Stuff.  There is little character development and the pace of action is glacial.  I've read several other books since I started this one and I just have to force myself to keep reading this one.

I really wanted to like this book.  It is set in a restaurant in Miami (good so far as I'm a former chef).  It's a mystery - that's good, too, as I love my mysteries.  That's where it all ended.  There's just no action and I can't get into the characters.  Try as I might, I just can't recommend this one.
