2023: Richard Osman meets Masterchef. In this cookery school, murder is on the menu…
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…
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.
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.
Belgravia, London
Well this is a a fine jaunt around the streets of Belgravia, not to mention the very fine dining restaurants!
It’s like being in the kitchens and behind the scenes of the best and famous restaurants with the fanciest food imagineable.
London and the high-class restaurant trade are very well evoked and it does get quite hot in those kitchens!
If you are hungry when reading this novel so have snacks to hand at least!
