The most famous chefs in New York are dropping like flies--each seeming to die accidentally. But P.C. and Mac notice a bizarre connection: every one has met his maker courtesy of his signature dish! Who is killing the cooks of Gotham, and, whats more, will there be a decent cook left alive to cater P.C. and Mac's joint sixteenth-birthday bash?

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 6-9-P. C. and his friend Mackenzie live in Manhattan and solve murder cases in their free time. In this installment in the series, the 16-year-olds happen upon several classy New York chefs who seem to be dropping dead in very peculiar ways. The sleuths manage to solve the crimes in a single weekend, beating the cops to the punch. Teens should be thrilled with the freedom these kids have. School is still in session, yet they have no homework, and their parents are nonexistent. However far-fetched the story line might be, it makes good escapist fare for preteens and reluctant older readers. It's fast paced, and the heroes win in the end.
