'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 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. The Old Forge sits on the village green (complete with duck pond and flint-faced houses) and seems just the place for the high-quality cooking she wants to be known for. 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. Luckily she has allies: her student waitress, a kitchen porter making up in muscles what he lacks in brain and a briskly efficient clairvoyant. 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.

I have read a number of Alex Coombs books and have thoroughly enjoyed them so when I saw this, the start to a new series, I wanted to get right in there at the start and I wasn't disappointed.
With the help, and hindrance, of some interesting characters, Charlie goes about her task with more than a little hesitation however, the stakes are raised when more murders are committed and she becomes a target. Can she solve the case before she becomes the next victim?
With excellent characters, a great location and an intriguing story, this is a great start to a new series and one I am looking forward to getting my beady little eyes on the next instalment to see how things develop.
Many thanks to the author, Bedford Square Publishers, No Exit Press and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of this start to a new series.
