A Healthy Place to Die (2000)

by Peter King
(#5 in Gourmet Detective)

The Gourmet Detective accepts an invitation to attend a cooking conference at a Swiss resort. Asked to evaluate healthy haule cuisine served by the spa, he finds that these are no ordinary dishes. For this is not a spartan diet spa, but a haven of relaxation and indulgence. He takes the opportunity to relax in mudbaths and swim in natural springs, but his experience does not remain idyllic for long. Suddenly two editors from a glamorous lifestyle magazine disappear -- and a lawyer shows up to inquire about the stories they were writing. Now the Gourmet Detective suspects they were uncovering more than the tastiest food secrets. The recipe for relaxation turns into a recipe for disaster, and the Gourmet Detective must find the killer before the spa serves up more murders.
