Produktbeschreibung

Caterer extraordinaire Francesca Eve is prepared for anything. Missing canapés? No problem. Burnt brownies? A piece of cake… But a dead body? Now that's a recipe for disaster.

In the manor house of her pretty little Shropshire village, Francesca is nervous about catering her first ever murder mystery party. But it's clear from the clink of champagne flutes that the evening is a roaring success. Until the murder suddenly stops being a game, when beautiful young teacher Becky drops dead in the dining room, and the coroner rules poisoning. Which of the guests has a deadly way with mushrooms? And why?

The local police are fixated on Francesca's canapés, but her cooking never killed a soul, and she realises she must do some sleuthing of her own to save her reputation. From the woman having an affair, to the guest hiding her true identity, everyone in the party has a secret - and it turns out that Becky knew them all. But which secret was dangerous enough to kill for?

When Francesca's prime suspect, the light-fingered heiress, is found murdered with another case of death by overdose, it becomes clear that a deranged killer is going off-script. And anyone who was involved in the game is in their sights, even Francesca. Can she unmask the murderer before it's too late, or has she cooked her last supper?

A page-turning cozy mystery packed with twists. If you love Clare Chase, M.C. Beaton and The Thursday Murder Club you'll absolutely adore this unputdownable whodunnit.

Autorenporträt

Emma once worked for a design studio where she was asked to provide a fun, humorous, and not necessarily true anecdote about herself for their website. She wrote the following: 'I am a bestselling novelist currently masquerading as a thirty something mother of three.' Well the job didn't work out but she's now a forty something mother of three and happy to report the rest of her dream came true. She now lives in rural Shropshire where she writes full time from a shed in the garden.
