Something of a departure for the White House Chef series - this time Ollie is investigating the twenty-five year old murder of her own father. Not nearly as much sturm und drang at the White House, either. Still all kinds of security issues and that sort of thing. Tensions in the White House seem to be down - Ollie is putting up with her rival chef who is the First Family's personal chef - as opposed to the White House Chef, who does affairs of state, etc. She is also getting along with the touchy protocol chief - or sensitivity chief. And her affair with Agent Gavin is flourishing.
The story opens with the question of how her father was buried at Arlington National Cemetary in spite of a dishonorable discharge from the army. I admit, I thought the answer to that one was pretty obvious, but it took everyone in the story down to the big reveal in the next to last chapter.
I guess Hyzy technically worked the title into the story. It was about Ollie's search for answers regarding her father, and she and First Son and aspiring chef, 9-year old Josh, make fondue for a family supper.
