Jim calls his best friend Steve to go collect from Chuck. Meanwhile, Jessica explains to Jim that although she loves the money he makes from illegal gambling and hustling, she wants a normal life. Jim thinks about it awhile and then decides why not? He and Jessica can get married, have kids and buy a house - normal. But before Jim can share the good news, Jessica gets a phone call and shuts Jim out.
The next day, Jim gets a frantic phone call from Carla, Steve's wife. She insists that her husband and Jessica are having a fling and she wants to kill them. Jim denies that Jessica or Steve would do that to him, but he humors Carla. He picks her up and they go to Jessica's house. But when they arrive, they are greeted with something that neither one of them expected. It is horrific.
Bon Appétit is a fast-paced thrilling novella with a lot of foul language that really sets the tone for this character driven novella. Gamble spins a novel that is riveting, suspenseful and delicious. I look forward to reading more about Jim Money!

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
