Welcome to Greystone Manor. From the bucolic grounds to the stately mansion, all is not as peaceful as it seems.
A pot of meat sauce. A locked door. By morning there will be a body on the floor.
When culinary disaster Cressida Pennington reluctantly accepts her well-meaning mother's gift of a week's stay at a French cooking school in Connecticut, she expects humiliation not homicide. But all that changes when debonair celebrity chef Hugues Craonne arrives from Paris as a guest instructor and he and his mysterious meat sauce become the center of gourmet intrigue and a high-stakes culinary feud. Does the meat sauce really contain a secret ingredient that has catapulted it to the top of every foodie's bucket list or is it an elaborate hoax designed to fool even the most discerning?
With this culinary mystery swirling in everyone's head, Cressida and her delightfully opinionated bloodhound Rufus find themselves immersed in an amusing bouillabaisse of celebrity cooking culture, kitchen egos, and fellow students who may not be all that they seem.
Whose body will end up on the kitchen floor? And why? That's for Rufus to know and us to find out.
Humor, suspense, and satire, with secrets simmering just below the surface, a Rufus the Bloodhound Mystery.
