Death Cup — Irna van Zyl

When a notorious food blogger drops dead in a fancy Hermanus restaurant right in front of Detective Storm van der Merwe, Storm finds herself at the centre of a rotten mess: the blogger's killer meal was laced with death cups, a mushroom more poisonous than even her most toxic restaurant review.

But sniffing out the murderer is not Storm's only task: she has to put up former colleague Andreas Moerdyk when he quits his job, and to top it all her darling dog is missing.

Amid frantic preparations for a glitzy awards ceremony to honour the best chefs in the country, the killer strikes again â€" and again. Storm needs to act before yet another deadly dish is served.
