"This is the title that first grabbed my attention and sparked my interest in the series - loving a good play on words as I do. Now, after reading the first 14 in the series, I've finally read this one!
"Hell Hath No Curry" ranks as one of my favorites in the series. There were moments of laugh-out-loud humor (especially - SPOILER - the "singing rat" at the Sausage Barn). There was still adolescent humor that I didn't find all that funny, though.
I have enjoyed Magdalena more as she has gained some depth, owing in large part to her unexpected foster parenting of an interesting teen-aged girl. Magdalena can still get on my nerves, but in this book the mystery itself was a pretty good one. And it is always interesting to see how Magdalena goes about ruling suspects out . . . she certainly has a unique way about her.
SPOILER ALERT
The story ends with Magdalena finally marrying Gabe. A big question for me is - will Gabe continue to be part of the story in #16? (Unlike Aaron Miller, whom Magdalena married on the last pages of one book, only to have disappeared in the first pages of the next). I feel as though the author is perhaps finally figuring out who Magdalena is. I hope so, as the interactions she has with Ida Rosen, Gabe Rosen, Doc Schafor, Allison, Susannah and Wanda are priceless and I'd like to see them all the next time around."
"There were a few recipes scattered throughout the book but it didn't seem to go along well the story. When the main character Magdalena talks, she seem to go off topic. It is her personality and amplifies it but gets irritating as it seems like a filler. I wanted to know how she solved the mystery so I kept on reading and skipped a lot of her chatter."
