About the book
A Recipe for Robbery
The Mystery at the Biltmore series returns in a quality paperback format with its delectable third installment! Elodie LaRue is back for a new page-turning mystery. Someone has stolen Chef Sebastian’s recipes and with few suspects, a tight timeline, and the LaRue Detective Agency’s perfect success rate on the line, could Elodie be biting off more than she can chew?
Biltmore resident, Chef Sebastian, plans to open a new pastry shop where he will unveil his mouthwatering masterpiece—the cruffin (part muffin, part croissant, entirely delicious). That is until all of Chef’s recipes are stolen from his apartment. With a 100% success rate, it is no wonder The LaRue Detective Agency is hired to solve the recipe robbery, but when the mystery appears as layered as a French croissant—one may wonder: is a mystery this complicated worth risking a perfect reputation?
From the award-winning author of The Umbrella House, Colleen Nelson brings another New York apartment building to life in Mystery at the Biltmore #3: A Recipe for Robbery. Colored illustrations by award-winning artist, Peggy Collins, are scattered throughout the story, bringing additional humor to the cast of quirky characters and enhancing the reading experience for new independent readers. Written with charm and wit, Mystery at the Biltmore is Only Murders in the Building meets Harriet the Spy.
