An Old Forge Café Mystery

Murder on the Menu : The first delicious taste of a mouthwatering new mystery series set in the idyllic English countryside

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

'Takes two of the world's greatest pleasures - food and mystery writing - and combines them exquisitely. I devoured it!' Thomas Mogford

'Kept me enthralled till the end' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Real reader review

'Highly enjoyable opener to a new series' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Real reader review

Chef Charlie Hunter's arrival in the beautiful Chilterns is the fulfilment of a long-held dream: to open her own restaurant in an idyllic countryside location.

But instead of rural peace and a chance to lick her wounds, Charlie finds something ugly stirring under the chocolate box perfection. When a prominent local builder is found dead in suspicious circumstances, Charlie the outsider becomes a suspect.

And the only way to clear her name seems to be to find out who the real killer is.

Using all the craft Charlie's learned in kitchens – discipline, timing, preparation and grim determination – she will be as relentless in her quest to bring a murderer to justice as she is in creating the perfect meal.
