Publisher Description
Forty-something homemaker Carolyn Blue is through with cooking and cleaning. She’s finally decided to throw in the dishtowel—and take on a dream job as a food writer. Now her plate is filled with exotic locales, delectable foods, and even a dash of crime—to taste. She could very well get used to this…
Even if Carolyn has to share a cabin with her mother-in-law, it’s still a terrific Mother’s Day present: passage on the Bountiful Feast, a gourmet European cruise ship. Unfortunately, the attitude of the disgruntled crew is putting a damper on the trip. So is the disappearance of a female passenger—not to mention the disastrous shortage of double chocolate raspberry mousse. And when passengers are drugged and a corpse turns up, it’s clear to Carolyn that the Bountiful Feast is sailing headlong into dangerous waters...
Includes recipes!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
El Paso, Tex., food writer Carolyn Blue takes a gourmet cruise in Fairbanks's lackluster eighth culinary mystery (after 2005's Mozzarella Most Murderous). The pumpkin soup is tasty and the tilapia with black bean and corn relish scrumptious on the cruise from Lisbon to Barcelona, but things turn sour when another passenger, Mrs. Gross, goes missing. Was she accidentally left behind when the cruise ship docked? Or could something more sinister be afoot? Carolyn's determination to get to the bottom of things lands her in hot water. The frequent first-person narrative shifts among Carolyn and various other characters make for a confusing read, but fans will relish the many dessert recipes sprinkled throughout. Previous books in the series were published as mass market originals.
