FRIEND OF THE DEVIL

Friend of the Devil 

by Mark Spivak

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Superb writing.

This is a novel that reflects the desires and excesses that people indulge themselves, and what they are willing to pay in return of their darkest and even foolish obsessions.

Spine tingling scenes and an over flourished atmosphere of succulent dishes and the best spirits and champagne to accompany the huge ego of a pompous Chef.

Note: I received an ARC for review and an honest and unbiased opinion.
