Book Description
Food writer Carolyn gets to challenge her taste-testing skills once again-this time, in Barcelona. Her first feast is for the eyes-at a modern art museum where her friend Roberta is the resident scholar. There, she catches a performance art piece about death, planted a little too firmly in reality. One of the actors is not acting-she's dead...as well as a dead-ringer for Roberta. And now, Carolyn is in the middle of a new investigation into a very unsavory crime.Customer Reviews:
Fun and Breezy.......2004-05-10
Not the best in the series.......2004-02-23
Murder in Barcelona.......2004-02-15
When Carolyn arrives, the security guard and receptionist won't let her in to the exhibit with her suitcase to wait for her friend. Finally she is able to leave her suitcase at the front desk, pay the exorbitant entrance fee and begin to tour the Tapas Triage exhibit. This was performance art. Each partitioned space contained a hospital bed. Most contained a patient (art student). There were creatures that came into the exhibit. They were representing Life and Death. The Angel of Life and Joy brought tapas. An Englishman tourist determined that the next performer to "die" would be the one that didn't get the tapas. When Carolyn goes to the last patient, she discovers that she resembles her friend Robbie. She thought she was playing a joke on her. Then she realizes that this woman is not Robbie and worse, she is dead.
Inspector Ildefons Pujol I Serra ("Inspector Pujol") is called into head up the investigation. Immediately he suspects Carolyn or Robbie because they are Americans.
Then Robbie discovers that her stepson, Henri Samuel Fauree (Sammie) has gone missing from his American school. Then her husband Hugh tells her that his passport and some money are missing. Robbie contact the consul and finds that Sammie arrived in Barcelona a few days ago. They begin searching for him.
Robbie and Carolyn get into many interesting and dangerous situations in this book. There are many suspects in the death at the museum and they hope to help Inspector Pujol discover the real killer before they are arrested.
I like Carolyn a lot. She is a delightful character and I find the books in this series to be a light and enjoyable read. I must say that at first I had a lot of trouble with the foreign names in this book. Once I stuck with it, I was able to keep everyone straight. I liked the setting of Barcelona but some of the places that Carolyn and/or Robbie went are not places I would want to see.
I highly recommend this book!
not one of the better installments but still enjoyable.......2004-01-09
When Carolyn's scientist husband, Jason, is invited to give a few lectures in Salamanca and Barcelona, Carolyn naturally decides to tag along. This will give her a chance to sample the excellent Catalan fare to be had in Barcelona, and write a few articles about the food and history of the city. And when Carolyn learns that her good friend, Roberta Hecht is in Barcelona, having accepted a 3 month stint at the Espirit de Gaudi i Miro, Carolyn decides to go ahead to Barcelona in order to spend some time with her friend before Jason joins her. The last thing that Carolyn expected when she turns up at the museum feeling extremely jet-lagged and rumpled, is to make the unsettling discovery that there is a dead body in the performance art piece being performed at the museum. And not just any dead body, but that of a young woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to her friend, Roberta. Is someone after Roberta? But why would anyone want to murder Roberta? Carolyn soon learns, however, that in the small and stifling world of the Espirit de Gaudi i Miro, where absurd jealousies and pettiness seems part of the course, everyone seems to believe that Roberta is guilty of the crime. Knowing full well that Roberta is incapable of murdering anyone, Carolyn is determined to help her friend prove her innocence even if it means getting entangled in a murder investigation once again...
While on the whole "The Perils of Paella" was not a bad read, it was not one of Nancy Fairbanks better efforts either. Unlike the previous books in this series, this novel was really quite short on any interesting historical tit-bits, although I rather enjoyed her descriptions of the Gaudi architecture to be seen throughout the city. And the book also seemed to lack that slightly lighthearted and humorous touch that characterized previous installments. Poor Carolyn didn't seem to have all that much fun in Barcelona at all -- but perhaps a lack of real sleep and only frequenting absolute dives might have had something to do with this. Or could it have been the effect of Carolyn's demanding and high maintenance friend, Roberta? I'll admit that Roberta was just got on my nerves, and I really wanted Carolyn to grow a backbone and tell Roberta off more often! Alas this didn't happen frequently enough for me. And aside from Carolyn, the only other main character that was interesting and engaging was the Spanish police inspector in charge of the case, Inspector Pujol. Inspector Pujol's sardonic narratives alone made this book an enjoyable read, and I found myself wishing fervently that the entire novel had been written from Pujol's point of view. So that even though the mystery subplot was so-so and the clues were scarce (although there was a healthy number of suspects -- too bad Nancy Fairbanks didn't do enough with them), I will say that this was an entertaining read because of Carolyn's and Pujol's engaging and entertaining narratives.
Fast and funny who-done-it.......2004-01-08
Carolyn is currently in Barcelona visiting her friend Roberta Hecht, who is working in the research project at the El Esperit de Gaudi i Miro museum. When Carolyn goes to the museum she makes it a point to see the interactive exhibit "Tapas Triage" but is startled to find a dead woman who looks like her friend. It turns out that the woman was the mistress of the owner of the museum. In the xenophobic chauvinistic eyes of Inspector Pojol, who doesn't have a high opinion of American women, Roberta is the only suspect. Carolyn feels obligated to prove her friend's innocence without implicating Roberta's stepson who thinks he might have killed the victim.
THE PERILS OF PAELLA is obviously a title twist of "The Perils of Pauline" as the heroine goes from one dangerous adventure into another one. Nancy Fairbanks has some mouth watering descriptions of Catalonian repasts so don't read this culinary mystery on an empty stomach something this reviewer learned first hand. However, my spouse rejected my placing culpability on Ms. Fairbanks for a large dessert I devoured. There are enough suspects to keep the storyline interesting without overwhelming the audience with trivia. This fast and funny
Ever since her children have grown up, Carolyn Blue is doing things that she wants to do. She is a syndicated food columnist, published writer and jets around the world, accompanying her husband to science conferences. Of course she always finds time to solve murder investigations along the way.
