In Corsica, the mountains are breathtaking, the food is unforgettable... and some family secrets are smoked, sealed and ready to kill.
Charlie Mercier, food critic and accidental sleuth, arrives on the island expecting sunlit villages, wild landscapes, generous tables and a few delicious discoveries.
She does not expect a dead judge.
And she definitely does not expect a poisoned figatellu to become the most dangerous clue on the menu.
Accident? Local vendetta? Family revenge? Or murder, carefully hidden behind tradition, pride and smoke-cured secrets?
As rumours spread through the village and old grudges resurface, Charlie is pulled into an investigation as winding as a Corsican mountain road. Between tense heirs, buried crimes, suspicious locals and recipes that carry more history than anyone wants to admit, she soon realizes this case may be far more personal than she first imagined.
With Monsieur B., her ginger cat with sharp instincts and sharper judgment, a mysterious local shepherd, and a detective she may or may not be falling for, Charlie must uncover the truth before another bite turns deadly.
Light-hearted, witty and full of island flavour, this fifth book in the Murder à la Carte series is perfect for readers who love cosy mysteries, amateur female sleuths, culinary crimes, Mediterranean settings, family secrets and one very suspicious cat.
Each book in the series can be read as a standalone mystery, with recurring characters, evolving relationships and a new delicious destination in every adventure.
Discover Murder in Corsica: Fatal Figatellu today and join Charlie Mercier in a sun-soaked, funny and dangerously delicious investigation where every bite could be your last.
