Death of a Mystery Guest

Readers love the Old Forge Café mysteries!

'Another excellent addition to this superb series' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Real reader review

Charlie Hunter does not like Christmas, especially the lead into it -- cooking endless servings of Christmas dinner. So when she is asked by Graeme Strickland, Michelin-starred chef, egomaniac and friend, to help out in a hotel restaurant in Edinburgh’s New Town, for a fortnight, she accepts with alacrity. The Head Chef, David Jenkins, is a very old friend of Strickland’s, and the job entails covering temporarily for a sous chef position, while Strickland provides cover for Charlie, gratis, in the Old Forge Café.

She is scheduled to be there for a fortnight. But Charlie arrives in Edinburgh just in time to discover David Jenkins being stretchered out. An autopsy reveals the Chef has been poisoned with mushrooms. Was it an accident or a murder attempt? It looks like Charlie may be doing a rather different job…

• The Fouth novel in the series is garnering praise from fellow chefs and cosy crime readers. Coombs is a well-established author with nearly 100,000 books sold already.

• A funny, intelligent, mouth-watering murder mystery for readers who like their food as much as they love to read.
