The irresistible debut novel from celebrity TV chef Rosemary Shrager where cosy crime and cookery collide!

When an old television rival, Deirdre Shaw, is found dead at the Cotswolds manor house where she was catering for a prestigious shooting weekend, Prudence is asked to step into the breach. Prudence is only too happy to take up the position and soon she is working in the kitchens of Farleigh Manor.

But Farleigh Manor is the home to secrets, both old and new. The site of a famous unsolved murder from the nineteenth century, Farleigh Manor has never quite shaken off its sensationalist past. It's about to get a sensational present too. Because, the more she scratches beneath the surface of this manor and its guests, the more Prudence becomes certain that Deirdre Shaw's death was no accident. She's staring in the face of a very modern murder. . .

The story is a fun classic murder mystery, with rounded characters, full of food references which is charming and delightful.

Loved this book, great original
story line with lots of quirks, characters & narration - Rosemary has injected a lot of humour into the story too. Really looking forward to the next book- hopefully there is one 🤞

Fabulous

I loved this book. I also love Agatha Raisin, Royal Spyness, Midsomer Murders and all cosy mysteries full of caricatures of people and lots of tongue in cheek humour - fun mystery without the grit. In my opinion the negative reviews are only relevant if you don’t like this style of book/performance. If you do, buy this, it’s fantastic and the performance by the narrator brought all the characters to life - so difficult to do! Fabulous, can’t wait for book number two.

Fantastic❤️
