Tasty

A fully stuffed pudding of a story, filled with motives, misdirection, and even a ghost (or two). Lots of fun. Highly recommended.

It's 1906 and Didier is hosting a dinner for the King and some of his friends. When a wager is taken on whether there is a ghost of Marie Antoinette at Le Petit Trianon, Paris. On arriving in Paris revenge is on the menu and murder is the result.
Probably say that I just about liked the tale, still can't quite make up my mind about the characters and food content though, my problem might be that I not actually interested in French cuisine.
A NetGalley Book

[Leyla Johnson · Rating 3 out of 5]

I did enjoy this book, although I was expecting something a little different. There was a lot of things happening in this book and I found myself a little left behind in some part, as I did in visualising the setting and topography. The mystery was good and I did find myself reading well into the night to find out what happened next.
