Delicious Death is the second book in a six part novella series called Madame Chalamet by Byrd Nash. This book took me back to my roots of loving mysteries! Nash has created a wonderful series so far with captivating characters that readers love. Elinor is by far my newest favorite sleuth-ghost whisperer- who is balancing the food competition and trying to help a lady in distress. One cannot forget that there’s an assassin who is out to cause harm. Nash has a wonderful knack for keeping the reader at the edge of their seat in anticipation about what will happen next. I am looking forward to reading the third book in this series.

Sadly, I had to read the 2nd part of Byrd Nash’s novel. I have to say this is different from my other likes of mystery and murder crimes. Elinor is a medium who finally took a break from solving crime and ended up with another solving crime in which a King is a target. Funny is that the chef is the one that is the problem and using food to kill the King. I recommended this to my teen kids who love to a good mystery book.

I have loved Byrd Nash. I make sure I follow her books. This story has a strong female central lead, it is always enjoyable when an author projects a strong female lead in 1800s with eccentric qualities. Elinor has a penchant towards ghost talking. She befriends another eccentric woman , who is a doctor. In the winter feast. There is an attempt to murder the king. There is a duke who is equally interested in solving this mystery. The forbidden romance brews between Elinor and the Duke. Social restrictions follow. What not to like about it, nothing . Overall a very enjoyable read.

Duke de Archambeau is also on the case and feels he can solve this mystery before Elinor. She’s being kept busy with other paranormal happenings as well but she is determined to find who is behind the plot against the king. The pace of this book was a little quick, however it never makes you feel like you’re missing out on any part of the story. The author does a great job building onto the story and the characters from the first installment. If you like paranormal crime and mystery this would be a great book to read. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/106111308-charlisa-wahtomy-alba”>View all my reviews</a>

This paranormal mystery starts off with Madame Elinor Chalamet, our fmc from book one, wanting a little excitement as she’s been bored since her last case. Just as luck would have it, she receives an invitation from King Guenard for the Winter Revels. What starts off as a fun escape from the lackluster daily hum drum turns into yet another mystery to be solved as she finds out the King is being targeted. Tristan Fontaine, Duke de Archambeau, is determined to solve the case before Elinor. It’s through this competition of sorts we get to continue to see their sarcastic, snarky, and often humorous banter. We also get to see as feelings blossom between the two.
Byrd Nash has done it yet again. Her descriptive writing, amazing mystery plot twists, and humorous banter between characters has me wanting more. I love a strong, smart, snarky female main character and this series has just that in Elinor. Elinor often reminds me of a historical type, Charlie from Daryanda Jones’ First Grave series, as she solves cases, talks to ghosts, and is fine being alone despite starting to crush on a man. This is a fantastic series that has just gotten better in this second book. I honestly can’t wait to read more!

Madame Chalamet is known as the Ghost Talker. Her adventure continues with the duke. He gets her invitations to the Food competition between wide known chefs, including the one at her hotel. Many stories fold during the competition which makes for a great read! I really did love the drama and mystery that was brought into this book. I can’t wait for the next book! 🙂

I read the first book and loved it so immediately had to next this one next and it did not disappoint. I love it just as much as the first book, if not more! The story continues nicely from where the last left off and the relationships between the different characters only became more engaging. It was great to witness the ongoing interactions between Elinor and the Duke, how the growing attraction/relationship continues to grow from the first novella. The author once again impressed me with their writing style, I was easily able to envision the world they had created and felt like I really had fallen into the world walking alongside Elinor as she navigated the new scenery. While I was able to learn some more about my favourite characters there is still so much, I don’t know, but wish to, and so I eagerly await the next books in the series! Just as with the first novella, I could not put this one down and I can see how this will be the case for the entire series. I whole-heartedly recommend this series to those who enjoy historical investigative stories, ghosts and romance!

Mystery, crime fighting, and a medium with enough spunk to do it all – this book encompasses just about everything. Acting as the second installment, the reader follows along as a satisfying new change of pace and location are reached as well as a slow-embered burn of a romance takes flame.
Ghosts and mourning, grief and acceptance, overall this book was a good pace and a fun read.

This novel is a suspenseful, entertaining plot twisting story. The details are exquisitely complex and I thoroughly enjoyed solving the crime next to our heroine, Elinor. If you like mysteriously intricate tales; this amazingly fun and yet dark novel is for you. The storyline is wonderfully detailed with amazing characters. I can’t wait to dive right in to the next one.

This is the second book of Madame Chalamet and let me say I was not disappointed! I loved that this time Elinor is supposed to be on vacation to attend the Winter Revel with her friend Charlotte but she seems to be unable to stay out of trouble. When the king falls ill from mysterious circumstances, Elinor takes it upon herself to figure out who is the true culprit. Not to mention she helps the living with spirits of the dead holding on or vice versa. I am a true foodie at heart and loved the descriptions of all the courses of food from the top chefs’ competition. I can’t wait to read the next installment of Ghost Mysteries.

The second book in the Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries set, fully composed of six books. Elinor Chalamet, crime fighting medium, returns for another round of ghost banter and mischief. I would recommend reading book 1 (Ghost Talker) before this one, as it builds on previous character development and helps to establish the momentum into Delicious Death. I really enjoyed that the story continues, but is not dragged out extensively. We find ourselves in a new location with a whole different array of ghosts and characters, and of course dilemmas to deal with! I did find this book to be a change of pace from book one, and a LITTLE slower, but still a fast and easy read that I highly enjoyed. Byrd Nash knows how to engage the reader and keep the pages turning, and I am looking forward to the next one.

This is book two in the Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries by Byrd Nash. The author most definitely did not disappoint. I absolutely loved every aspect of this book, the characters are so easily to fall in love with, and the main plot is excellently woven, with a great complimented sub-plot. Madame Chalamet has been invited to The Winter Revels, a royal arts and skills competition the King throws every year, this year the main competition is cooking. In attendance is most of the nobility and a few commoners, including Mysir de Archambeau. Competing in the competition is her favorite Chef from the Crown Hotel. Madame Chalamet and Dr. LaRue have already found trouble before they even step off the train and they must absolutely help Lady Tulip Langenberg. An attempt on the King’s life makes for an interesting mystery; who in a house full of people want the King dead? Both Mysir de Archambeau and Madame Chalamet must get to the bottom of the assassination attempt, while Madame Chalamet is balancing trying to help Lady Tulip, and also has been called upon to help an older Widow let go of her husband who has been dead for five years. Will they be able to help everyone who needs their attention? What if they cannot uncover who tried to kill the King? Will the person try again? On top of these mysteries, the relationship between Madame Chalamet and the Duke is strengthening and seems to be more than platonic, at least I hope it will be! Cannot wait till I can read book three!

In the second book of the Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries, Elinor has not been very busy since the first book. But that doesn’t diminish the story at all but actually enhances it by adding a new ghost, we learn a bit more about Elinor and her friends/acquaintances, and of course more about her search. I couldn’t stop reading and finished it within a day and a half.

Elinor Chalamet and Tristan Fontaine, the Duke de Archambeaux return, but this time, they are both guests of the King at the Winter Revels, a culinary competition to find the best chef, Elinor is happy to know that a friend of hers is one of the chefs competing, so when she receives an invite, she is ecstatic, so she takes her friend along with her for company. While traveling, she encounters a young lady in need of aid, so she does what she does best and helps a person in distress, even though as usual, it puts her at odds with people and ruffles some feathers all at the same time.
When she arrives at the charming town of Vouvant, she can see how the Winter Revels are welcomed by the establishments where they sell their wares to the tourists and holiday maker with abandon, but she runs into the same young lady and comes to the rescue again, however, the outcome is more positive for her, than the last one. After the first welcome meal and the opportunity to meet the chefs and sample some of the upcoming victuals, she runs into the Duke de Archambeaux, as well as spotting someone she may need to help during her time there, a grieving widow and her son, so tired and satisfied, she goes to bed, however, she is woken in the middle of the night by the Duke in need of her and her friends help, much to their chagrin.
It turns out that there had been an assassination attempt on the King and that her help is needed to find the individual responsible, however, when the finger is pointed at her friend, the chef, she is determined to uncover the culprit and show that her friend is innocent of the crime. Will Elinor be able to solve the crime while also helping out the young lady and the widow all at the same time, or will it all become too overwhelming for her to cope with? This is another fast paced mystery where spirits and food combine with delicious, yet dangerous consequences, all while romance slowly kindles between Elinor and the Duke.
Elinor Chalamet speaks to ghosts and solves mysteries. What’s not to love? This book is a fun and quick read with a mix of history, the paranormal, and crime. I love the tough and wity heroine and the banter with her male cohort. Quality writing and an excellent cast of characters. I wonder what will happen next?

I came across this book first and started reading it before realizing that this was book 2 in a series. From there I had to find book one just to read to see how my thoughts might be swayed and the impact it has on understanding the second book. Even though I did it backwards I was still able to follow the storyline and the author does a wonderful job with looping you in.
Elinor, our female medium, is a witty, take no prisoners type of person and definitely not one to let society tell her what she must do. So when she gets an invite to a royal feast she must accept after all she also loves to eat. Throw in an attempted murder, a ghost stalking her favorite chef, and the romantic tension between Elinor and Duke Tristan you have a witty masterpiece that anyone would fall in love with. Who will solve this dastardly royal murder attempt or will they end up in the crosshairs of the perpetrator?
This was a witty, humorous paranormal mystery read that will keep you flipping pages just to find out what happens next. Now onto downloading the others in this series so I can see what happens next.

Well, well, well a ghost story with suspense. Elinor Chalamet a crime fighting medium. She is not only independent but plays a strong role in this case. While things seem to be quiet around her, life gets boring. Getting an invitation from the King Guenard, she chooses to visit the King and the great cook off. Taking her friend Dr. Charlotte LaRue with her on the adventure. But things change quite quickly. Murder and mayhem keep this story going with its twists and turns. This is a new author for me. But I am very pleased I gave her a chance. Her fantasy ghost story with its action and suspense held my interest and was fun to read. I am looking forward to what happens next for Elinor.

5 Stars Delicious Death (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries Book 2) by Byrd Nash
Delicious Death is the second book in the Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries and is a fast paced story that I devoured in one sitting. I recommend reading the first book in this series if you haven’t already started as this one picks up not to long after the first one ended ,plus you get to know the characters better and what’s been going on up to this point. I Enjoyed reading this fast paced well written Historical Mystery that had me turning the pages trying to figure out what was going to happen next. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

I enjoyed Delicious Death. I think I may have enjoyed it more than book 1 in this series. The author brings us back to Alenbonne and into Madame Chalamet’s life. This time it seems to be a bigger adventure and a bigger mystery. The resident Ghost Talker has been invited to The Winter Revels by the king. This season’s competition is among 6 chefs across the land. Of course Madame Chalamet feels Duke Archambeau is behind it. But what happens when all the fun and games turns serious. Someone poisoned the King and with all these people in the same place from high society as well as common, anyone could’ve done it. Together and apart the Duke and Madame start an investigation to get to the bottom of it. Despite everything the push and pull between them, they make a great team. It could also be that the author is showing more chemistry between them within the writing. I look forward to continuing on into this series!

Delicious Death (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries Book 2) by Byrd Nash. This is such a fun book. I loved the first one so I knew I would enjoy this one as well.

Elinor is invited to attend the king’s Winter Revels – where chefs compete for the king’s favor. She is thrilled to be attending because life has been a tad boring, and her favorite chef will be competing! Elinor brings her friend, Dr. LaRue, along so they can both enjoy good food and some relaxation. However, when the king is poisoned and there is trouble afoot, who better to help the king’s man, Duke Archambeau, solve the mystery than Elinor? Can they find the culprit before it’s too late?
This continuation of the series did not disappoint! I feel like I was drawn in even more to the mystery of Elinor and the duke! The other characters and their issues were well rounded and a fantastic addition to the story. I am truly enjoying this author’s work. They explain what is happening well enough that you do not feel inundated with information.

This is book number two in the wonderful Chalamet Ghost Mysteries series and after reading the first book I could not wait to get my hands on this one. Oh, my goodness, IT WAS BETTER THAN THE FIRST BOOK! I could not believe it. I loved that the location changed and that the author managed to develop the main character even more in this story. I could not put this book down. I read this book until the wee hours of the morning because I had to get to the ending. And it was perfect. Please, please, please do yourself a favor and pick up this book to read.

I really enjoyed this book. I haven’t read the first one so I did feel like I was missing out on a little bit of the backstory, but it didn’t hinder the story at all. The characters were well developed and there was enough going on to add to the list of suspects in the mystery. I did not have it figured out until the culprit was revealed and was surprised. I enjoyed the spunkiness of Elizabeth and also like her commitment to her independence, especially in that era. I also like that her ability to see and communicate with ghosts wasn’t the only way she could solve a crime. It was an enjoyable read and I look forward to reading the next one (and the first one!). The pacing was good and I really didn’t feel that it bogged down anywhere. I really enjoyed it!

This gas lamp fantasy novella is number 2 of a 6 part series that mystery lovers will enjoy.
Mysterious deaths, Royal families, unknown motives, and a chef competition makes this a lively and endearing mystery.
Elinor is a strong main character that appears witty and charming. She’s also quite intelligent which comes through quite clearly throughout the story.
A little ghosts and intrigue makes for a good read. I look forward to reading the next novella in this series.

Byrd Nash delivers one more with the second book in the Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries Series, Delicious Death. The reader is taken to the time shortly after the first book. Madame Chalamet and Tristan Fontaine find themselves, again, at the center of a mystery and must work together to solve the crime. This book has a little less to do with ghosts than the first book, but there is still bits and pieces of that paranormal aspect. This second book includes all the drama, mystery, and suspense of the first book! I don’t think the reader necessarily needs to read the first book to understand this one, however, I think having a grasp on the characters introduced before helps the journey progress easier in Delicious Death. Overall, a great, fun read by Byrd Nash!

Madame Chalamet is such a fantastic character! And her friend, the coroner in charge of the city morgue, Dr. Charlotte LaRue, is my favorite and so atypical of a female in the setting of this story! Back to Chalamet though. Chalamet is a trained medium who can see and speak to ghosts. She lives in a beautiful hotel and often helps Chef Pedersen with his dead boyfriend that creates quite the uproar in the kitchen. She was invited to the Winter Revels in Vouvant to be a guest during the food competition and tries to enjoy her vacation unfortunately it turns into work for her. The king has been poisoned and it’s up to her and the Duke to find the accused culprit while trying to rid a quest of the dead husband who cannot seem to leave the plane of the living. So much is going on and so much more happens in this great masterpiece of storytelling and mystery! No spoilers here so you must read the book! I am such a huge fan of Madame Chalamet from just this one book! The writing is elegant and flows off the page! Easy to read and to find one’s self engaged with all the quirky characters. The storyline is well written and is so easy to just get lost in the times and events of the story. Definitely a must read as we follow along and solve the mystery behind the culprit who poisoned the king, how the dead husband storyline turns out and why did Chalamet bother to save a young woman from a lecherous man. Never a dull moment and one book you will be disappointed when it ends. I now have to read the other 5 books to follow along with Chalamet and her story!
Madame Chalamet continues her professional obligations as a ghost talker day and night in this second Ghost Mysteries novel. I love a series that picks up almost directly where the previous left off, and this one does not disappoint. Elinor Chalamet manages to snag an invitation from the King to a dining competition with the upper crust of nobility and brings along a plus one, her friend and confidant, Dr. Charlotte LaRue, coroner. While enjoying fine dining and the occasional conversation with the un-dead, Elinor and her previous acquaintance, the Duke de Archembeau, servant to the King, discover a plot to harm the King.
Byrd Nash has a knack for moving the plot along quickly while intertwining love affairs, tales of rebellion and clashes of nobility- I enjoyed the first book immensely, the second even more and eagerly look forward to reading the third!

This book is book 2 in the series, We follow Madame Elinor Chalamet, who is a ghost talker, as she attends the Winter Revels for the first time. She and her friend Dr. Charlotte LaRue are put into situations that most of us would run from. As I read, I felt like Elinor, didn’t really feel like she belonged there. There is a romantic feel throughout this book between Elinor and Tristan, (the Duke de Archambeau), do they get together? Read and find out. I will tell you once you start reading this book, you will not put it down until you have finished it.

Madame Chalamet is such a fantastic character! And her friend, the coroner in charge of the city morgue, Dr. Charlotte LaRue, is my favorite and so atypical of a female in the setting of this story! Back to Chalamet though. Chalamet is a trained medium who can see and speak to ghosts. She lives in a beautiful hotel and often helps Chef Pedersen with his dead boyfriend that creates quite the uproar in the kitchen. She was invited to the Winter Revels in Vouvant to be a guest during the food competition and tries to enjoy her vacation unfortunately it turns into work for her.

I absolutely adore Elinor! We are now in book 2 of the Madame Chalamet Mysteries series, Delicious Death. When Elinor attends the King’s Winter Feast, someone makes an attempt at the King’s life. When the Duke thinks he can find the suspect first, Elinor along with her friend, Dr. Charlotte, tries to find out who the culprit is. This book had more of the wit and fun from the first book. We got to see more of the friendship between Dr. Charlotte and Elinor. We also see more of the slow-burn romance between Tristan and Elinor and the issues that their difference in status may cause. This is a well-written continuation of the series and is able to be read as a stand-alone story.
