Strange title, never heard of the author, not very impressive cover.
Therefore it far exceeded my expectations, & I endorse it highly.
Compelling writing IMHO.
I'm happy a friend suggested that I read it.
There's already a sequel of sorts called The Gourmet. BTW, the UK cover is nicer. I don't know how much more I would pay for that, but between the two, that's the one I would opt for.
I wouldn't pay more for the cover either, but that one sure is better.
I purchased a fairly inexpensive paperback version via Amazon.
