With the wine harvest behind them, things had just started to calm down for Maggie and Laurent in their French village of Saint-Buvard when a team of celebrity judges arrives to put on a contest to decide in a blind taste test which country makes the best pastries—the Brits, the Americans, the Germans or the French.

When one of the contestants ends up stabbed to death, the suspect is a friend. Maggie will need to find a way past the woman’s obvious motive and the damning circumstantial evidence to free her—without putting herself or Laurent in the hot seat in the process.

(Bonus: Laurent’s classic chocolate soufflé recipe is at the end of the book.)
