Description

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

When a body turned up at her last catering gig it certainly put people off the hors d’oeuvres. With a reputation to salvage, Jodie’s determined that her next job for the village’s festival will go off without a hitch.

But when chaos breaks out, Jodie Parker somehow always finds herself caught up in the picture. The body of a writer from the festival is discovered at the bottom of a cliff, and the prime suspect turns out to be the guest of honour, the esteemed painter Duncan Stovall.

With her background in the Met police, Jodie has got solving cases down to a fine art so she knows things are rarely as they seem.

Can she find the killer before the village faces another brush with death?

The second book in the Jodie ‘Nosey’ Parker cozy mystery series. Can be read as a standalone. A humorous cosy mystery with a British female sleuth in a small village. Includes one of Jodie's Tried and Tested Recipes! Written in British English. Mild profanity and peril.

Reviews

  • Disappointing and unrealistic

    The main character is a 40 year old single mum, ex police officer who acts like an annoying, immature teenager. There’s no realistic emotion portrayed when a character is killed / missing. By book two she’s somehow got three “decent and attractive” men chasing after her within a small Cornish village. A village that’s now had three murders within months, all closely linked to "Nosey Parker" I can already guess the plot of the rest in the series and I’ll save my time and money - it may as well be in the young adult / teenage section of books.

    Having read the first book in this series and really enjoyed it, I was disheartened to find this second book dire! The main character is a 40yr old woman who behaves like a 16 yr old. She’s supposed to have been burnt badly by her ex but it still doesn’t stop her chasing after a married man. It’s all a bit bleugh to be honest in comparison to number 1
