Seventy-two-year-old former opera diva Monique Dubois came to the Greek island of Paros for sunshine, sea air and a thoroughly civilized retirement. Then a local businessman collapses over a private bowl of beetroot tzatziki - and the island's most delicious dish becomes Exhibit A.
The chef insists her recipe was harmless. The victim's family is hiding an old grievance. And somewhere between a missing ledger, a disputed olive grove and one suspicious sprig of mint, someone has prepared the perfect murder.
With the police pursuing the most convenient suspect, Monique applies the skills she perfected onstage: reading a room, spotting a false performance, and knowing precisely when someone has missed their cue.
Fortunately, she is not investigating alone. Her black cat has already found the first clue - and left the evidence all over the table.
You'll love The Tzatziki Twist if you enjoy:
- Sharp-witted senior sleuths who refuse to act their age
- Sun-drenched island settings you can practically taste
- A cat with impeccable timing and strong opinions
- Eccentric small-town suspects with big secrets
- Clean, clever mysteries - no gore, no cliffhangers
Bonus: the full beetroot tzatziki recipe is included. Cook the clue yourself.
The Tzatziki Twist is Book 1 in the Monique Dubois Mysteries - a new destination cozy series where every installment brings a new place, a new dish, and the same exceptionally judgmental cat. Each book is a complete, standalone mystery.
Pour something cold, mind the mint, and start reading.
