About this listen

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?

This title was previously published as A Brush with Death.

Witty, suspenseful, heartwarming, cozy mystery

A delightful ensemble of characters, cheeky wit, and clever plot twists in the beautiful backdrop of Cornwall. Loving the mouthwatering cookery bits threaded throughout the series. If I had one criticism for this particular book it’s that the protagonist plays into far too many gendered stereotypes. It would be great to have a strong female lead who doesn’t lose her mind (and herself) whenever she’s in close proximity to raging testosterone and perky pects. Compared to the first book this read more like a romance novel with a mystery than a mystery novel with an element of romance. it teetered on the edge of frivolity as the romance element didn’t really progress the story or the mystery and tbh lowered my estimation of the protagonist. Otherwise very clever plot and mystery, and the characters and setting are both fun and complex and I look toward to returning to this world for more adventures.
