Not My Bowl Of Rice is "Like Water for Chocolate" meets "Joy Luck Club" It's so witty and tasty, it should come with a warning not to read if you're hungry.

“The Givenchy Code” is a parody of that other ‘code’ novel.
The Holy Grail was not a cup, but it wasn’t Mary Magdalene herself either, who supposedly carried Jesus’ royal blood in her womb and bore Him a child who went on to found France’s Merovingian dynasty. It was something far more extraordinary than that!
Starting with the murder of a prominent French personality in the fragrance industry, “The Givenchy Code” takes us on an exhilarating code-cracking adventure around Paris and beyond and introduces us to Theo Grayhill, a Jesuit priest doing the university lecture circuit on religious characters in Sci-Fi movies; Puca Watson, a budding French cryptographer; Madame Au Swait (pronounced oh-sway), prominent fashion figure, who orchestrated her own death to preserve her myth while continuing to rule the fragrance industry from behind the scenes; and the Frenchman, a sadomasochistic killer-for-hire saddled with Vitiligo, a skin condition resulting from loss of pigment, which produces white patches all over the skin.

Published: January 2005
In ER Escober's parody, The Givenchy Code, Da Vinci Code's mysterious anagram 'So Dark The Con Of Man' perversely becomes 'Hookers Con Daft Man'
The murder of a prominent French personality in the fragrance industry jumpstarts this exhilarating code-cracking ride all over Paris and deep into the heart of a religious conspiracy that centers around the real identity of a religious icon. In a spine-tingling blend of electrifying adventure, scholarly intrigue and unforgettable, unpredictable moments, The Givenchy Code gleefully, perversely parodies scenes and pays homage to that brilliantly written ‘other code’ novel, while poking benign fun at the fragrance industry and ultimately conjecturing an out-of-this-world theory that the most venerated relic of them all was indeed not a cup but something far more shockingly extraordinary!
