Having read the previous two books in the Gourmet Girl series, Steamed and Simmer Down, I was not disappointed when I read Turn Up the Heat. The basic storyline is similar to the previous two books, where Chloe discovers a murder victim and tries to find the murderer amidst her busy life. There is always something interesting going on with the book, whether it's Leandra's stealing or Adrianna's baby "crisis". I enjoyed how the author managed to combine food and mystery into a delightful mix. I love reading fiction books that can potentially happen in real life, and this book is just that. I also enjoyed this book because it was full of twists and turns. In my opinion, reading books that are very predictable is dull and unexciting. However, the ending in Turn up the Heat was very surprising and completely unexpected. By the time I finished the book, I felt very satisfied on how the story turned out. Yet, at the same time, I was left wanting more. Along the way, I also learned more about the food and restaurant industry. The writing style is very casual and easy to understand. It is a good book to read during free time. But be careful, because you might not want to put it down!
