Culinary Delights: Fine dining can be deadly. Disgraced Michelin-starred chefs, gluttonous mafiosi, and refined Viennese chocolate ladies. And octopuses seeking revenge, or herbs that shorten lives. With passion and a healthy dose of irony, Eva Rossmann crafts sophisticated short crime stories about the ultimate indulgence. Even the protagonists of her award-winning crime series, Mira Valensky and Vesna Krajner, make an appearance, lured by seductive aromas... The Austrian bestselling author has demonstrated her passion for culinary arts for many years, not only through her writing but also as a trained chef, who includes murderously good recipes in the appendix. Short crime stories à la carte with a corpse for dessert.
