Knife Skills for Beginners - Orlando Murrin

Title: Knife Skills for Beginners
Author: Orlando Murrin
Length: 336pgs
Pub Date: 1st February 2024

I found the book a little slow at the beginning, felt like I wasn't really interested in what was happening. However, at about 50% of the book, I got invested in it and found myself wanting to know who the culprit was.

I guessed where the murderer was coming from, but I didn't see the ending coming.

What I loved about this book, is that - firstly, because the author is an actual chef, knows what he's talking about (nice cheffy language used) And as I worked in restaurants and hotels for years, the book made me re-live the old days.

Secondly, I loved how the end gives a clear explanation on everything that has happened, a nice and clean ending to the story.

All in all, I have given 3 stars to it as the beginning was a little slow, but then it made up for it.
