When Godiva winds up in the hospital after being poisoned on a TV cooking show, her twin sister Goldie hops on an Alaska Airlines plane and rushes to her side. The sisters' zany romp through the world of celebrity TV chefs begins when Goldie's daughter Chili is hired by the star of the show. Rivalry turns to murder in the midst of the glitzy Gourmet Gladiators Tournament . The cops arrest Chili's new boss, Chef Caesar Romano, but Godiva has other plans for the handsome chef, and Goldie doesn't want her daughter to lose a chance at stardom, so the twins set out to prove that he is innocent. Their Jewish mother and grumpy uncle-former vaudeville magicians-help them stir the pot, but in the end Goldie and Godiva find themselves in some very hot water.

A CORPSE IN THE SOUP is a delightful spoof on the "food mystery." Stephanie Brush portrays a wide range of characters, from a former vaudeville performer in his 80s to an arrogant TV chef and a ditzy starlet wannabe. The fun begins when Godiva is hospitalized after sampling a dish on a cooking show, then starts dating the chef. Who can resist hearing about characters with names like Caesar Romano and Biff Wellington? The mystery may be light, but it has action, suspense, multiple suspects, and surprises--all marinated in a rich sauce of humor. Occasionally, Brush speaks too closely to the microphone, overly emphasizing her consonants. But her dialogue is natural, with all the appropriate emotions. M.S.W. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
