Click ... when renowned pastry-cook Nestor Chaffinch hears the freezer door swing shut behind him as he stacks away his chocolate fondants, he knows he is doomed to a slow and frosty death. It was all a terrible accident - or was it? There is a variety of suspects at this smart weekend house party - among them the host, Ernesto Teldi, a prosperous art-dealer; Adela, his aging wife; Serafin Tous, a widower with shameful urges concealed beneath his judge's robes, not to mention Nestor's team of eccentric young helpers in the kitchen. Serving up delectable desserts to rich clients for generations, Nestor has access to their innermost secrets. Could his little moleskin book really contain just a harmless list of culinary secrets? Or are they secrets of a more damaging nature? Part whodunit, part sparkling social satire, the internationally bestselling LITTLE INDISCRETIONS is deliciously mordant and psychological - an elegant mystery for our times.
