Publisher Description
Thwarting an assassination wasn't on the menu.
Elinor's holiday is nearly ruined when a poisoner targets the king, and what's even more irritating? Tristan Fontaine, the Duke de Archambeau, thinks to solve the case before she can!
Between saving a society lady's reputation, comforting a girl with a ghostly brother, and conducting a séance for a widow, Elinor has her hands full. All she wants is to enjoy dinners prepared by the best chefs in the land, but Tristan's mother and sister can't stop giving bossy advice. It's enough to spoil the dessert course.
Between dead husbands and noble boors, Elinor snoops through wardrobe closets, determined to put the duke in his place.
Trained as a medium, Ghost Talker Elinor Chalamet uses her talents to solve crimes.
The second of a six-part Gaslamp fantasy ghost mystery series featuring a strong-minded female Sherlock Holmes-like character in a slow burn romance.

Love this series
I have to read all of the books in this series. A female Sherlock Holmes and medium. Very clever and I love the Victorian setting.
Delicious Death
Byrd Nash and Elinor Chalamet show us again that, when properly motivated, ghosts can help the living. In this case, Madame Chalamet and the Duke de Archambeau find trouble while attending the king’s Winter Revels. Having requested an invitation upon learning her favorite chef was competing for the number one spot, Elinor surprisingly still allows ghosts and murder attempts to distract her from the culinary delights. But will she be able to help her favorite chef and keep more ghosts from forming around her?
These stories are an amusing diversion. I like that they are brief and light-hearted despite covering topics like ghosts and murder.
Deeeeelightful
Such quick paced but intriguing dialogue. I enjoy Elinors insights and intelligence.
