She used to run Michelin-starred kitchens. Now, Chloe Scott is discovering that hunting a murderer requires the same precision as a perfect souffl .
Chloe Scott traded her Michelin-starred apron for a juice bar on the sun-drenched shores of Bluebird Island, hoping for a life where the most "urgent demand" was deciding which fruit to blend next. She wanted peace, quiet, and a chance to navigate her grief in paradise.
But when Captain Morgan Batson drops dead at the port, the local Sergeant is all too happy to blame a bad sandwich and get back to the cricket match. Only Officer Dayton Madlow-a young detective who's read one too many mystery novels-suspects foul play.
Chloe's professional pride is piqued (no one accuses a chef's food of being lethal ), and soon she's trading her juice press for a magnifying glass. Between dodging her mother's "helpful" advice on her love life and keeping her precocious nine-year-old out of trouble, Chloe discovers that Bluebird Island is hiding more secrets than a pirate's treasure chest.
With a ship due to sail and a killer potentially hiding in plain sight, can Chloe help the bumbling but earnest Dayton find the truth before the trail goes cold?.
