A SUNDAY TIMES CRIME BOOK OF THE YEAR 

She has the recipe for the perfect murder... Maria Capello is a celebrity chef like no other. A household name with dozens of cookbooks and a weekly television show, not to mention her line of bestselling supermarket sauces.

Once just the timid wife of famous chef Damien Capello, she stepped into the spotlight after his mysterious disappearance, an event she's never spoken about publicly... until now. Why is Maria willing to break her silence? When editor Thea Woods is invited to Maria's remote farmhouse to work on the manuscript of her tell-all memoir, Thea spots an opportunity.

She could be the one to finally learn whether the rumours are true. Did Maria kill Damien for his recipes and the legendary 'secret ingredient'? Or is the truth even darker?

A deliciously rich thriller, perfect for readers of Bella Mackie's How To Kill Your Family and Alexia Casale's The Best Way to Bury Your Husband.
