Enter the GoodReads giveaway for Murder Most Delicious by Danielle Postel‑Vinay. Olivia was once a rising star in the wine world, one of the rare women to earn the title of Master Sommelier, until COVID robbed her of her sense of taste and derailed her career. Lost and uncertain about her future, she’s stunned when famed chef Jacques de Bizet invites her to Paris for a job interview. But moments after they sit down, Jacques collapses, poisoned, and Olivia suddenly finds herself the prime suspect.
Though her palate is gone, Olivia’s extraordinary sense of smell remains intact, sharp enough to detect even the faintest trace of the toxin that killed Jacques. She knows she didn’t do it, but proving her innocence is another matter entirely.
That’s when the Paris Neighborhood Watch steps in: a quirky band of locals fiercely devoted to protecting their corner of the city. Leading them is Augusta Dupin, a brilliant but reclusive detective who rarely leaves her home, assisted by her perceptive British shorthair cat, Chateaubriand. Together with Olivia, a sweet‑natured cop, a pâtissier, a café owner, a part‑time librarian, and a florist, they embark on a hunt for the truth, one that uncovers not only the killer but a renewed sense of purpose for everyone involved.
