Crime writing
Chef Paul Delamare has been roped into accompanying his old friend on a luxury cruise aboard superyacht Maldemer. It’s all plain sailing until his friend’s priceless necklace is stolen and everyone falls under suspicion.
As Paul races to catch the thief, the ship begins to drift off-course, veering into the storm-lashed mid-Atlantic. Then one of the passengers is found dead in the most gruesome and mysterious of circumstances.
It’s all hands on deck to catch the killer, but Paul soon discovers guests and crew are harbouring deadly secrets. And if he can’t get to the bottom fo the mystery soon, he’ll be sleeping with the fishes.
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: One of them 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.
