Murder in the Kitchen

by Fred Halliday

In the grand style of "Someone in Killing The Great Chefs of Europe", this mystery-unlike anything Agatha Christie would dare to write-blends thrilling suspense and sophisticated erotica with low comedy and haute cuisine. (Imagine Alfred Hitchcock and Anthony Burgess in collaboration!) A satiric souffle, it will whet the appetite of anyone who likes gourmet delights-from fine vintage wines to exotic French tarts. It's a new, compelling, and entirely shocking entertainment!
