A culinary mystery that is absolutely delicious

English cookbook author Darina Lisle is extremely excited over being invited to be one of the star presenters of a new London TV food series, Table For Four. Joining Darina on the panel is egotistical wine connoisseur, Bruce Bennett, who manages to charm all the ladies associated with the show, including Darina. Of course, all the men hate the Australian narcissist. The show is a monster hit with the viewing audience until Bruce dies (literally) on TV. Without the charismatic Bruce, most of the TV industry believes that the show is doomed to fail. ....... When a second person also dies, Darina, an amateur detective, begins to suspect a murderer is on the show. In spite of the warnings from her fiance, Detective William Pigram, Darina starts to investigate the two deaths. However, as she gets closer to the truth and the identity of the assailant, Darina has to wonder if she has placed herself in jeopardy of becoming the next victim? ........ Fans of gourmet mysteries will dine on this tasty morsel from Janet Laurence. The story line of DEATH AT THE TABLE is fast-paced, exciting, and filled with unexpected twists, while Darina is an intriguing amateur female detective. Readers who enjoy a culinary who-done-it will relish this delectable novel. .......Harriet Klausner
