Trudging around Washington with the whiney, ill-tempered man is miserable work, but the pair is somehow able to come to an agreement regarding the fourth place they visit \u2013 a venue called Lexington Place.<\/p>\n<p>At first blush, Lexington Place seems perfect: gorgeous, spacious, and completely state-of-the-art, it\u2019s the ideal location for an elegant, high-profile affair. All Ollie and Sargeant have to do is take some pictures and write some notes and they can finally go their separate ways. Or so they think, anyway. Then they stumble across the corpses of two White House staffers stashed in the facility\u2019s kitchen, and it becomes clear that their shared ordeal has only just begun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Affairs of Steak<\/strong> is the fifth of author <em><strong>Julie Hyzy\u2019s<\/strong><\/em> fabulously entertaining <em>White House Chef<\/em> Mysteries, and in my opinion, it\u2019s her best book to date. Part thriller, part culinary cozy, it\u2019s one of those rare tales where the plot is driven equally by character and by action, making it impossible to put down. The sense of atmosphere is strong, the pace is breakneck, and the plot is marvelously well-constructed. Hyzy\u2019s prose reads effortlessly, and she makes sure to show you the world she\u2019s created through all of Ollie\u2019s senses, making for a completely immersive reading experience.<\/p>\n<p>The story starts with a bang, and the first twenty pages have more action, tension, and drama than the climaxes of most traditional mysteries. By page forty, you\u2019ll be on the edge of your seat and snarling at anything and anyone that threatens to distract you. I intended to read this book over the course of a weekend \u2013 to read it in small chunks so that I could savor it \u2013 but once I started, there was no stopping, and I wound up devouring the entire thing in a single sitting.<\/p>\n<p>Hyzy\u2019s character work is top-notch, as always. Ollie\u2019s a strong, smart, determined heroine for whom you can\u2019t help but root, and the fear and paranoia she feels over the course of the book is so effectively conveyed by Hyzy it\u2019s practically contagious. By using the central mystery to turn sworn enemy Peter Everett Sargeant into Ollie\u2019s reluctant ally, Hyzy manages to give depth \u2013 and dare I say warmth? \u2013 to a character I spent four books wanting to bash over the head with a frying pan. And the appeal of Ollie\u2019s dark and mysterious new love interest, Special Agent in Charge Leonard \u201cGav\u201d Gavin, continues to grow.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d be remiss if I ended this review without giving a nod to the skill with which Hyzy writes the relationships between her characters. Particularly spectacular is Ollie\u2019s bittersweet and occasionally antagonistic relationship with ex-lover and former confidante Tom MacKenzie; their shared scenes are realistic, nuanced, and charged with emotion, and they help push the book past excellent to extraordinary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating: <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">5 (Perfect!) <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Reviewed by<\/em> <strong> Kat<\/strong><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-8092\" data-postid=\"8092\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-8092 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Affairs of Steak Author: Julie Hyzy Publisher: Berkley Pub.
