An Old Forge Café Mystery

A Knife in the Back : Settle down with a bite to eat and devour this third in the Old Forge Café cosy culinary mystery series!

'An irresistibly delicious mix of cooking and murder' Tricia Ashley

'An excellent addition to this series' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Real reader review

'Very smart cosy mystery with a female restaurateur as the protagonist. Great characters, lovely food references and a fabulous plot' ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Real reader review

'Well done Alex Coombs, another entertaining cozy mystery that kept me hooked and guessing. Glad to catch up with the characters, had fun and appreciated the solution. Highly recommended' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Real reader review

Chef Charlie Hunter is just trying for mindfulness and a work/life balance, if such a thing is ever possible in the context of a busy professional kitchen.

She's found herself a great podcast that's going to help her get there. Until she finds that her online self-help guru has feet of clay – feet which are much closer to her restaurant than seems possible.

Even more disruptive is the attack on a well known writer in Charlie's quiet Chilterns village of Hampden Green, and the arrest of the village's own celebrity shock jock.

Charlie finds herself dealing with more than she can cope with, and never sure where the next attack will come from. Then mere backstabbing turns to murder…
