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 no shortage of suspects at this smart weekend house party - among them the host, Ernesto Teldi, a prosperous art-dealer; Adela, his ageing wife; and Serafin Tous, a widower with shameful urges concealed beneath his judge's robes. There is also Nestor's team of eccentric helpers - Chloe, a pierced oddball obsessed by her brother's premature death; her lover Karel Pligh, a Czech body-builder, and Carlos García, Adela Teldi's obsessive young lover. Serving up delectable desserts to his clients for generations, Nestor is privy to their private lives. Could his little moleskin book really contain just a harmless list of culinary secrets? Or are they secrets of a more damaging nature?

Part whodunnit, part sparkling social satire, the internationally bestselling Little Indiscretions is deliciously mordant and psychological - an elegant mystery for our times.
