Murder à la Mode by Susan Kiernan-Lewis
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 food industry entrepreneurs and celebrity judges arrives to put on a contest to decide in a blind taste test which country makes the best chocolate éclairs—the Brits, the Americans, the Germans or the French.

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

(Bonus: Laurent’s classic chocolate éclair recipe is at the end of the book.)
This book is a clean read: no graphic violence, sex or strong language
Genre: light culinary cozy mystery, women amateur sleuth, cozy animal (dog)
