Betrayal in Bilbao: Book 6 - The Wandering Wok Mysteries
By Christina Crane
CC and Finn roll into Bilbao for the legendary week-long Aste Nagusia festival with a food truck full of Singaporean laksa and absolutely no plans to get involved in a murder.
Not so fast.
When they’re welcomed into a txoko – a secret Basque gastronomic society where members cook, argue passionately, and guard their traditions with the intensity of people who really care about food – it seems like the perfect setting for a wonderful week. Good wine, extraordinary cooking, and a community who take culture as seriously as CC takes her sambal.
Then one of the txoko’s most beloved elders is found dead, and the close-knit community turns inward. Everyone has a history. Everyone has a secret. And everyone is an absolutely wonderful cook, which makes it very hard to stay suspicious.
While Finn charms his way into celebrity friendships, CC must untangle loyalty and betrayal, tradition and change – before someone decides she’s asked one too many questions.
A deliciously cosy mystery, served with Singaporean fusion, Basque passion, and the firm belief that the best conversations always happen around food.
Book Six in The Wandering Wok Mysteries.
CC and Finn go where the food takes them – a food and wine festival in the Rhône Valley, a market town in Berkshire, a very long Swedish winter, the flower parade in Haarlem – serving bowls of their fragrant laksa from every stop. They travel by campervan, tow their food truck, and bring all three cats. And somehow, wherever they park, someone ends up dead.
Pick a country. Pull up a chair. There’s laksa if you want it.
