Meet Ellie Quicke. Devoted cat lady, tea addict, recent widow — and now amateur sleuth!
There’s nothing more wholesome than a slice of Ellie’s homemade quiche.
Her friends and neighbours can’t get enough down at the church’s pot-luck lunch. But they’ll soon wish they’d gone without.
After the feast is over, many diners are rushed to hospital with food poisoning! They’re quick to point the finger at Ellie, saying her dicey quiche is to blame.
Mortified Ellie knows that can’t be right. But while she’s still weighing the ingredients of this baffling case, tragedy strikes.
Paddy the handyman is found murdered. He was a gentle old soul, well liked by everyone in the parish.
Who cooked up this scheme to take his life? Ellie can’t help but feel it all links back to the poisoning in church.
Can she puzzle it out before the killer strikes again? The proof — and maybe worse — is in the pudding . . .
Meet your next favourite sleuth in this wonderfully witty whodunnit.
Fans of the Reverend Richard Coles, Fiona Leitch, The Thursday Murder Club, Sarah Yarwood-Lovett, Agatha Christie, Janice Hallett, Peter Boland and Simon Brett will be hooked from the very first page!
