Eat, Pray, Die

A secret organisation that protects its celebrity clients from attempted poisonings, a clumsy  recruit with a dangerous past and a bad guy out to murder the newest celebrity chef.  "Eat, Pray, Die" is the humorous new mystery novel from Chelsea Fields guaranteed to be your ideal summer read.  

Isobel "Izzy" Avery is recruited by the Taste Society to protect it's newest celebrity client after their last operative ends up in a coma from a crippling, unknown poison.  Like other recruits, Izzy has a rare gene that allows her to detect deadly poisons without being killed.    

Matters become more complicated as Izzy has to face off against a dangerous character from her past while battling romantic feelings for her trainer, the Taste Society's top operative, Connor Stiles. 

What I particularly liked about "Eat, Pray, Die" is the unconventional take on the heroine.  Izzy is resourceful, skilled and highly intelligent, yet she consistently finds herself in hilarious scenarios due to her awkward, clumsy antics.

Author Chelsea Fields allows Izzy to express her sexuality unfiltered, and this was refreshing to read as it challenges the usually stoic and sexually suppressed female heroes.  Izzy blatantly flirts with Connor and is not embarrassed by her sexuality.  Indeed, the character takes female empowerment to a new level.  I enjoyed the consistently witty and sexually charged banter between the two leads. 

For a relaxed, casual read, "Eat, Pray, Die" is highly recommended.  The light, Bond-inspired caper is the perfect companion for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
