Publisher's summary

The first book of the cozy mystery series!

Still spinning from the hustle and bustle of city life, Jodie ‘Nosey’ Parker is glad to be back in the Cornish village she calls home. Having quit the Met Police in search of something less dangerous, the change of pace means she can finally start her dream catering company and raise her daughter, Daisy, somewhere safer.

But there’s nothing quite like having your first job back at home be catering an ex-boyfriend’s wedding to remind you of just how small your village is. And when the bride vanishes, Jodie is drawn into the investigation, realising that life in the countryside might not be as quaint as she remembers.

With a missing bride on their hands, murder and mayhem lurks around every corner…

But surely saving the day will be a piece of cake for this not-so-amateur sleuth?

This title was previously published as Murder on the Menu.

Critic reviews

‘A sparklingly delicious confection to satisfy the mystery reader’s appetite’ Helena Dixon, bestselling author of the Miss Underhay Mysteries

Very good cozy mystery

It’s so hard to find cozy mysteries that are not “overwritten” or try too hard. This was perfect, as was the narrator.

Excellent new cozy series

Both the author and narrator are new to me, but they made a terrific combination. The story was well-paced and interesting on the whole; the only thing that bothered me was when the main character went off on her own to the denouement: any former police officer would understand the importance of not going into a situation alone.

Perfect Cozy Mystery

I immediately fell in love with the characters and Cornwall. Can’t wait to read the whole series!

Brilliant

i was looking for that perfect balance between a too-cosy (read: syrupy sweet) mystery and something smart, witty and laugh out loud funny with well-written characters i care about right away. this book nailed it. a storyline that kept me guessing as well as kept my attention coupled with a fantastic narrator: what’s not to love? can’t wait to start book #2 tomorrow!

Highly entertaining cozy mysteries

I wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful mystery series. It is rapidly becoming one of my favorites, with likable, memorable main characters that you want to spend more time with. I feel the author incorporates the right blend of humor, story pacing and plot twists to satisfy avid mystery lovers, like me. Plus the narrator is excellent, so 5 stars there too.

Cute cozy crime, well read

The narrator had a nice tone and pace.
The cozy crime was interested, not too lame nor scary. I hardly stopped listening. Light enough that if you missed a moment, not a fret, but fun enough most missed bit I went back for.

Truly Excellent

i am so happy to have stumbled upon this series. Great mystery and just the right amount of snarky humor! The narrator only enhances the story. I look forward to following the lives and mishaps of all the characters.

Mystery Maven

What a nice cozy! New author for me and the characters are well developed and the mystery solution was well hidden to nearly the end. Like the idea of the recipe. Highly recommend.

Nice read

I enjoy the simplicity of the complication. Have fun, read and listen and I think I’ll try the recipes at the end.

Enjoyable all the way through.

Loved the storyline and characters. I was extremely pleased to find this gem after listening to the Thursday Murder Club series.
