Prime: A Novel | Poppy Z. Brite
2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
Two years after the opening of Liquor, New Orleans chefs Rickey and G-man are immersed in the life of their restaurant, enjoying a loyal cast of diners, and cooking great booze-laced food. Alls well until a bad review in a local paper not-so-subtly hints that their silent backer, celebrity chef Lenny Duveteaux, has ulterior motives. When Lenny is accused of serious criminal activity by eccentric D.A. Placide Treat, Rickey and G-man realize it may be time to end their dependence on him. When Rickey is offered a plum consulting job at a Dallas restaurant, it seems the perfect way to beef up their bank account. But taking the gig will mean a reunion with Cooper Stark, the older chef with whom Rickey shared an unsettling cocaine-fueled encounter back in culinary school, as well as dealing with gung-ho Texas businessman/restaurateur Frank Firestone. At G-mans urging, Rickey finally accepts the offer and revamps Firestones menu to rave reviews. Home in New Orleans, Rickey has just settled back into his daily kitchen routine when he receives disturbing information that forces his return to Dallas. As Placide Treats machinations grow ever more bizarre, G-man learns that theres more to the storyand that Rickey is in Texas-size danger. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Emily92Bibliophile Oh goodness. Just saw this and decided to buy Kevin Kwan's Rich People Problems with the $5 off. My no buy July was going great... 7y
Pandareads37 @Emily92Bibliophile I really enjoyed that book. Wish my payday was on Monday instead of Friday. Want to buy more books 7y
Jess_Read_This @Booksandcooks @laurabrook @rubyslippersreads What books are you buying? 😁 I love Prime Day! 7y
britt_brooke Thanks for posting this! I ordered hubby a Paperwhite for his birthday (in Sept) and now I'm going to order myself something! 7y
rubyslippersreads @Reviewsbylola That looks really interesting. 7y
rubyslippersreads @Jess_Read_This @Booksandcooks @LauraBrook I ended up getting two of the Jenny and the Cat Club books, thanks to #enabler @elkeo. 😸 7y
rubyslippersreads @Avanders @LauraBrook @Emily92Bibliophile I don't think Prime Day counts for #nobuyjuly. I mean, it's a holiday, right? 😂 7y
rubyslippersreads @britt_brooke Glad I could help with your shopping. 😊 7y
Avanders Lol @rubyslippersreads @elkeo that's sound reasoning to me! Self-control paused... 😜 (edited) 7y
Reviewsbylola Yeah I had planned on doing #nobuyjuly too. Effin Prime Day!! (edited) 7y
elkeOriginal @rubyslippersreads @Jess_Read_This @Avanders @LauraBrook @Reviewsbylola Executive decision made: today is a holiday from #nobuyjuly. We can only practice so much self-control before we lose our sh*t completely, after all. 7y
Reviewsbylola Right, and I truly think it is irresponsible to pass up good deals. @elkeo 7y
rubyslippersreads @Reviewsbylola @elkeo Taking advantage of good deals is just part of self-care, right? (As is that HaloTop Birthday Cake ice cream I ordered from PrimeNow. 😂) 7y
elkeOriginal Ice cream through the mail? WHAT? Let's hope they don't pack it with your books 😆 7y
rubyslippersreads @elkeo 😂😂😂 PrimeNow is local and brings groceries, etc. I was having them deliver cat food, and the cats said I could get myself a treat. The books are coming separately. 😹😹😹 7y
CoffeeCatsBooks I have been so bad on the Prime Day sale. I am banning myself for the rest of the day. 7y
elkeOriginal @rubyslippersreads Your cats are way more considerate than the norm! 🤣 7y
LauraBrook @Jess_Read_This I got The Girl in the Steel Corset, two of the MacMillan collector's library titles (English Fairy Takes and Best Fairy Stories of the World), and 4 British Crime Classics (Resorting to Murder, Murder in Piccadilly, the Santa Klaus Murder, and The Lake District Murder). Plus a few other things, coffee, water bottle, etc . How about you? 7y
rubyslippersreads @LauraBrook @Jess_Read_This Those MacMillan collector's books are so pretty. I have three, but of course crave more. 😄 7y
LauraBrook @rubyslippersreads I had 4, so with these 3, I'm up to 7. And yes, I totally want more. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 7y
Megabooks @Reviewsbylola Yay! I hope you enjoy it! 7y
Megabooks I got The Kind Worth Killing and The Lying Game (Ruth Ware) because my TBR shelf is low on thrillers! @Jess_Read_This (edited) 7y
Reviewsbylola The Kind Worth Killing is good! Curious about the new Ware. @Booksandcooks 7y
