Why read it?
1 author picked Someone is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
When Prudence Emery and I set out to collaborate on our first mystery novel, we searched around for inspiration.
I found it rereading Someone Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe. Published in 1976, it cleverly dealt with food and the murder of—you guessed it—Europe’s great chefs. But what most appealed to me was its entertaining mix of humor, sex, and suspense.
The perfect recipe, Prudence and I decided, for our mysteries—with a little Charade and To Catch a Thief thrown in for good measure.
From Ron's list on combining mystery and suspense into something magical.
