A Chef Paul Delamare Mystery May Contain Murder, (Paperback)

<b>Sharp and sophisticated, Orlando Murrin's latest culinary mystery sees chef Paul Delamare aboard a luxurious superyacht for what may just be a killer cruise . . .</b> <p>While his flooded house undergoes repairs, chef-turned-writer Paul Delamare has been offered an accommodation upgrade--an all-expenses-paid trip aboard a private superyacht in the company of Xéra, one of his dearest friends. Paul will help Xéra work on her memoirs as <i>Maldemer</i> glides its sumptuous way to the Caribbean. The scenery is stunning, the luxury is unparalleled, and the<br>food . . . well, at least the dishes that Paul is roped into preparing are delicious. The hired chef, meanwhile, seems completely out of her depth. But she's not the only one. </p><p>Much as Paul adores Xéra, a Parisian socialite to whom he was introduced by his late lover, Marcus, he has little in common with the other guests, a motley crew consisting of Xéra's new husband and his grasping family. </p><p>When Xéra's priceless new necklace goes missing, Paul falls under suspicion. But there's far worse in store, as one of the passengers is found dead in mysterious and grisly circumstances. The stormy weather matches the threatening mood onboard, and as <i>Maldemer</i> veers off course, every semblance of order goes with it. Above and below deck there are secrets and dangerous alliances. And as he untangles the truth, it becomes clear that Paul's sharing close quarters with a killer eager to make this his final voyage . . .</p>
