Curried Chicken Salad

Stiletto (The Chequy Files #2) by Daniel O’Malley

Mini Summary: Myfanwy Thomas is back again, but a player in another’s story. Odette Leliefeld is a grafter and accompanies her grandfather on a diplomatic visit to London in an attempt to forge a union between the Grafters and the Checquy Group. In their efforts to build friendship, both sides fall back to suspicions and mistrust when they are thwarted over and over.

This world of the Checquy, the Grafters, and other organizations across the world with super-secret super powers may not be unique in itself, but the wit, creativity, and cheek of Mr. O’Malley is a total delight to read. He creates characters with enough grit to back up their sass. He can tell a complicated and, at times, heavy story without losing the ability to make the reader laugh. Often out loud. True to book one, it feels like a mash up of Ghost Busters and The Men in Black. (Hopefully, Mr. O’Malley, you don’t mind the references.)

Today I have for you a Curried Chicken Salad Sandwich, as a nod to a pivotal and tragic picnic a group called The Antagonists had in Hyde Park. This is a cinch to throw together and perfect for using chicken leftovers.
