What do You think about French Fried (2006)?
Carolyn Blue, culinary columnist, goes to Lyon, France with her husband, Jason, when he is invited to speak at an international conference. It's a great opportunity for her column and Jason is thrilled that some of the expenses can be written off due to her job. However, before they even arrive someone dies in their hotel room in what seems to have been poisoned pate that was meant for them. There is an interesting blend of French history and cuisine throughout the book, mixed in with the young grad student making a play for Jason and the multiple attempts on one or both of their lives. Liked it but don't think I'll search out more.
