Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
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.

very good, like the cooking analogies
ending could have been a little more thought out, all ends tied up quick, but still a good listen!

The mystery
Good story. Police bit weak. Characters well structured reader was good but should avoid; or practice accents

A good easy listening mystery tail
I’m a foodie and a book lover so this ticked both of them. I am new to crime books with this only being my 3rd but I really enjoyed this. Nothing too over the top (hence the easy listening), but a good amount of twists.

A bit of an old fashioned who dunnit!
Not sure I enjoyed the narrator’s voice, but a bit of a mystery Agatha Christie with colourful characters and a good old fashioned twist. I learned a few bits about cooking too. An easy fun read.

Good Title & Unusual Setting
Interesting story line and setting and I liked the title. Sadly I didn’t like any of the characters so was glad to get to the end when it all came together.

Murder & Food
Loved this book from start to finish. Great story and a well thought out plot that kept me guessing to the end. Murder and food the combination was perfect. Recommend by Delicious Magazine and I can’t wait to see if there is another book.

Pleasantly surprised
I kept seeing this advertised to me and to be honest, the title didn’t appeal so I overlooked it. I managed to download an incredibly disappointing book so came back to this and I’m so glad I did! Some of the voices are a little OTT but overall it was fantastic. Really captured me and I will definitely be reading more in what will no doubt be a successful series. I’d recommend it for fans of Richard Osman - similar humour and relatively cosy
