Murder à la carte - Book 1 - Saint-Malo

In Saint-Malo, the crêpes are warm, the sea breeze is salty… and murder is definitely not on the menu.

Charlie Mercier came to the picturesque Breton coast hoping for a quiet escape. A little sea air, a few pastries, some much-needed peace… and absolutely no drama.

Unfortunately, trouble has other plans.

Freshly single, emotionally exhausted and far more interested in butter than dead bodies, Charlie is the last person anyone would expect to find herself caught up in a murder investigation. But when a suspicious death disrupts her holiday in Saint-Malo, her relaxing getaway turns into a mystery filled with secrets, lies and dangerously flaky alibis.

Accident? Revenge? A culinary rivalry gone too far? Or murder, served with a side of Breton charm?

As Charlie follows the clues through seaside streets, cosy cafés and crêperies full of whispers, she soon realizes that everyone seems to be hiding something. And with a charming inspector watching her a little too closely, she may have to solve the case before she becomes the next item on the menu.

Light-hearted, witty and deliciously French, this first book in the Murder à la Carte series is perfect for readers who love cosy mysteries, amateur female sleuths, charming European settings, quirky humour, irresistible cats and just enough suspense to keep the pages turning.

Each book in the series can be read as a standalone mystery, with recurring characters, evolving relationships and a new mouthwatering destination in every adventure.
