Bon Bon Voyage (A Carolyn Blue Culinary Mystery, #8)

Forty-something homemaker Carolyn Blue is through with cooking and cleaning. She’s finally decided to throw in the dishtowel—and take on a dream job as a food writer. Now her plate is filled with exotic locales, delectable foods, and even a dash of crime—to taste. She could very well get used to this…Even if she has to share a cabin with her mother-in-law and new friend, retired cop Luz Vallejo, Carolyn admits it’s a terrific Mother’s Day present: passage on the Bountiful Feast, a gourmet cruise ship sailing from Lisbon to Barcelona. Unfortunately, the attitude of the disgruntled crew is putting a real damper on the voyage. So is the mysterious disappearance of a female passenger at a port stop—not to mention the disastrous shortage of double-chocolate raspberry mousse. But when the passengers are drugged and a corpse turns up on board, it’s clear to Carolyn that the Bountiful Feast is sailing headlong into very dangerous waters—and an explosive conspiracy at sea that’s going to put everyone’s life on the line.
