A Terrible Village Poisoning

The Dinner Lady Detectives 3

De: Hannah Hendy

Narrado por: Jenny Funnell

The local mayor has a dinner date with death...

With school out for the summer, dinner ladies Margery and Clementine Butcher-Baker are off on holiday to the picturesque village of St-Martins-on-the-Water. But on their first night, their meal at the hotel ends in disaster, when the local mayor is found dead on the restaurant floor, supposedly poisoned by his dinner.

The village has a history of poisoning, and the locals are convinced the Poisoner is back. Immediately suspicion turns on Margery and – in particular – Clementine. But why? As more villagers grow sick, the question is: has the Poisoner returned or is this sinister turn the work of a menacing new copycat?

Margery and Clementine are on the case... to clear their name, to catch the killer, and all in time to celebrate Mrs Smith at her hen party.

A charming, cosy British mystery that will make you laugh out loud, A Terrible Village Poisoning is perfect for fans of Julia Chapman, Fiona Leitch and Richard Osman.

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.

Wonderful listen

Another in the cozy mysteries, easy to listen too with wonderful characters and nice plot.

Loved this!!!

Fun story, great characters. Terrific narration! I recommend this book for all who enjoy cosy mysteries.

A Pleasant Read

This book was an easy well-flowing read. I seem to have come into a series in the middle with this one, but it did just fine standing alone. I need books to keep me awake during menial tasks, and I always enjoy books that make you feel like you are spending time with new friends.

The killer, though, seemed a bit of a stretch to me. I didn’t feel quite convinced they had the reasonings for it all. It wouldn’t stop me from recommending it though.
