Summary
Murder is a dish best served ice cold...
In the idyllic, small town of Dewstow, Margery and Clementine are eagerly awaiting retirement from their work on the front-line serving meals to the students at Summerview secondary school.
Their peaceful life is shattered when their kitchen manager is found dead in the school’s walk-in freezer. The police are adamant that it’s an open-and-shut case of accidental death. But Margery and Clementine are convinced that something more sinister is afoot and take it upon themselves to investigate.
As the dinner ladies inch closer to the truth, time's running out. Will the perpetrator get their just desserts or is everything just going to go down the pan?
A charming, cosy British mystery, The Dinner Lady Detectives is ideal for fans of Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club or Murder, She Wrote.
Hannah Hendy lives in a small town in South Wales with her long-suffering wife and two spoilt cats. A professional chef by trade, she started writing to fill the time between shifts.

Absolutely fabulous!
I loved this book from the very start. Great story line, which kept one guessing. The characters were fabulous and were really brought to life by the unwavering skill of the narrator, Jenny Funnel. I cannot find the second book in the series on Audible, but I’ve found the third one and am just about to start that. I do have one tiny gripe- I wish the author (in the guise of Margery and Clement) would refer to them as ‘old’ or ‘elderly’ As a 64 year old, i do t consider myself old at all!! 😊
