In Marseille, the sun shines bright, the bouillabaisse simmers... and murder is served in front of everyone.
After the scandalous events in Saint-Malo, Charlie Mercier is back - and this time, trouble is waiting for her on the Mediterranean coast.
Invited to Marseille to cover a gourmet festival dedicated to the city's most famous fish stew, Charlie was expecting saffron, sea views, lively markets and a few delicious interviews.
She was not expecting a Michelin-starred chef to collapse in the middle of a live cooking show.
Accident? Badly prepared fish? Professional jealousy? Or murder, perfectly seasoned and served under the cameras?
As whispers spread through the market stalls and secrets rise from the kitchens of a seaside restaurant, Charlie finds herself once again caught in a culinary crime scene. Armed with her notebook, her sharp tongue, her questionable instincts and Monsieur B., her sarcastic ginger cat, she must navigate rival chefs, old grudges and a Marseille past that smells strongly of fennel, lies... and danger.
And of course, Detective Victor Lefèvre is also on the scene, with his maddening calm, mysterious looks and very inconvenient charm.
Light-hearted, witty and full of Mediterranean flavour, this second book in the Murder à la Carte series is perfect for readers who love cosy mysteries, amateur female sleuths, culinary crimes, charming French settings, irresistible cats and slow-simmering romantic tension.
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 Marseille: Bouillabaisse and the Evil Eye today and join Charlie Mercier in a sunny, funny and deliciously suspicious investigation where every secret is simmering just beneath the surface.
