The Party, the Crime, and the Nachos

A Guy Vanduex Mystery

It's a race against the oven timer as a culinary detective grapples with a genuine murder at a staged murder mystery party.

In the charming town of Tempest, the Murder Mystery Dinner Party is more than just a social gathering. It's an event that stirs the town's imagination, a game of pretend where guests get a chance to play detective. But when Michael Sloss, the overdramatic host, fears his role may turn from make-believe to all too real, he calls upon a quirky detective—Guy Vanduex, a former chef turned private investigator.

Vanduex is no ordinary sleuth. With his culinary background, he blends his love for food with his sharp detective skills, sifting through evidence like a chef through ingredients. But he’s always one elusive spice away from the perfect dish, one clue away from solving the case.

Then the unthinkable happens—the simulated murder turns into a real-life homicide. As the boundaries between the game and reality blur, Vanduex finds himself in a race against time to solve a case that’s far more complex than one of his culinary creations.

The chips are down, and so are the nachos. Will Vanduex be able to uncover the truth before the cheese melts? In "The Party, the Crime, and the Nachos," a deliciously sinister tale unfolds as gastronomy meets criminology. Will you be able to deduce the culprit before Vanduex serves up his final dish?
