Death of a Chef (Capucine Culinary Mystery)

About this book

"Quel horreur! When the body of acclaimed Chef Jean-Louis Brault and a shotgun are discovered in an antique Louis Vuitton portemanteau everyone is convinced its suicide. Distraught at rumors perpetuated by the vituperative food critic Lucien Folon that his restaurant La Mere Denis might lose its precious third Michelin star Brault was considered to be tres desole by friends and family alike. But when Capucine is called to the mise-en-scene Capucine smells something fishier than a bouillabaissegone bad. And when Le Monde suggests that Capucines investigation is a cover up for the lethal consequences of food critics everywhere--a profession in which her husband takes great pride--she will stop at nothing to solve the case. As evidence mounts fine food fraud and kidnapping are all main ingredients in Capucines search for the truth in this delicieux melange of cuisine et le mystere."--Dust jacket.
