A romantic getaway turns deadly when a passenger on the train is murdered--and a famous chef is the prime suspect.
Amateur baker and part-time sleuth Claire Walker is looking forward to a vacation with her boyfriend, Jonathan Ainsley. The happy couple boards the famed Scottish train, the Mallaig Steam Express--temporarily renamed The Marzipan Express in honor of chef Alan Gables, who is hosting an exclusive culinary experience for his most devoted fans.
The trip has barely begun when Claire and Jonny discover a dead body, and though it appears to be an accident, Claire can sense something is wrong as easily as she can sense an overbaked soufflé. All clues point to Alan as the culprit: He doesn't have an alibi, his assistant is oddly nervous around him, and a shadowy figure keeps appearing at all the wrong times. Is someone from Alan's past trying to frame him? Or could Alan be trying to cover his tracks?
Claire had hoped for a delicious, romantic getaway, not investigating a mysterious death while stress-eating trifle in the kitchen car and trying to not be jealous of a magazine reporter who is flirting with Jonny. It's mayhem in more ways than one.
