About this listen

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.

The storyline was not engaging in my opinon. I could not connect with the protagonists. This said, I listened to the end, which says something positive I feel.

Not for me - but some will like

It was uninspired and I didn’t enjoy it at all. It was well read though

Not a great story

I listened to the end as the narrator was enjoyable but the story was not great. The characters were unlikeable and as another reviewer mentioned they are not realistic at all for women in their 60s. Rolled my eyes a few times but powered on through. Won't bother with the rest of the series.

Nicely performed but actual book not great

I do love a cosy easy to read, light hearted murder mystery. In my mind I thought this would be more like Murder She Wrote.
But, for me, it wasn't as good as that. The story was ok, I would read others, but only for a quick read.

Cosy read
