Description

Format: Mass Market Paperback, 240pp. ISBN: 0312976836 Publisher: St. Martin's Press Pub. Date: March 2001 How could any self-respecting gourmet turn down a few weeks in a luxurious Swiss health spa? After all, this is no dieter's book camp, but an exclusive hideaway for weary elites seeking a few stolen moments for relaxation, self-indulgence - and maybe a slight reduction in their fat intake. No aficionado of the Good Life can pass up an opportunity like this. And few boast a better understanding of good living than the world-famous Gourmet Detective." "When he's needed to fill in for a friend sampling and evaluating the spa's rich delicacies the discerning sleuth can hardly say no. Every one of his assignments, consulting on menus for the world's premiere restaurateurs, seems to end up with someone dead and someone else trying to kill him. But here, at last, is a chance to relax in the very lap of luxury. Or so the Gourmet Detective thinks." "When he arrives at the resort's seaweed massage room for a rendezvous with one of the many attractive, leggy blond staff members, he finds her passed out from the heat. As he reaches for her pulse, someone bludgeons him from behind. Now, as a menu specializing in relaxation turns into a recipe for disaster, the Gourmet detective may have to sniff out a killer.
