The Chef Maurice Mysteries follow the adventures of Maurice Manchot, a French chef who runs a restaurant in the English village of Beakley. When crimes disturb the peace of his quiet corner of the countryside, Maurice can never resist getting involved, whether that means chasing down truffle thieves, investigating suspicious deaths at wine tastings, or untangling sabotage at a local baking competition.
J.A. Lang started the series with a short story prequel before publishing three full-length novels in 2015. The books balance cozy mystery conventions with a genuine love of food writing, and Maurice himself is a memorable lead: passionate, stubborn, and endlessly entertaining.
