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 narrator of this audio book should be given the highest acclaim - she was fantastic.
The story is a fun classic murder mystery, with rounded characters, full of food references which is charming and delightful.
I would highly recommend to listen to for an escape to an English country manor.

Wonderfully read fun murder mystery

I decided to listen to this after hearing Rosemary Shrager talk about the book on the radio. I hadn't realised she'd written a book, and I was looking for my next listen so thought I'd give it a go. What an unexpected joy it has been to follow this story, meet the characters and try to figure out the murderer. Lighthearted, amusing but also very clever, it had me guessing almost until the end, although all of the clues were of course there in the best traditions of Agatha Christie. Impossible to not hear Rosemary's distinctive voice in the main character, but that just added to the charm. I would thoroughly recommend and am hoping she will write another one! I can see these becoming a new favourite.

What a surprising joy!

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
