Richard Osman meets Masterchef. In this cookery school, murder is on the menu...
A recipe for disaster.
When chef Paul Delamare agrees to help his old friend Christian by teaching at an exclusive residential cookery school in Belgravia, the only thing he expects his students to murder is his taste buds. But on the first night, the unthinkable happens: someone turns up dead...
The school rests on a knife-edge.
Could one of his students be the killer? Or Rose - the owner of the school, a woman with secrets and a murky past? The police are convinced Paul is the culprit. After all, he's good with a blade, was first on the scene - and everyone knows what chefs are really like.
It all boils down to murder.
The students are sharpening their knives and if Paul can't solve the mystery fast - as well as teach them how to make a perfect hollandaise sauce - he'll be next to get the chop.
I loved this cozy mystery, it had me laughing out loud at times. There were times where I was convinced that our main character Paul was trying to get himself arrested at every opportunity!
There were a few unexpected twists and I did not see how this was going to end. Really well written and found that it was paced just right!
I also loved the fact that there were recipes included within the book that you could try out if you wanted, this is definitely something that I have only seen before in cookery books! It's definitely like two for the price of one - crime and cookery.
I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series and I'm hoping that Paul will be featuring again to see what chaos he can cause next time!
This book will be published on the 1st February 2024 but you can pre-order here
