An entertaining cosy mystery
A Cornish Recipe for Murder is another fun instalment in Fiona Leitch's delightful Cornwall-set series featuring chef-caterer Jodie "Nosey" Parker.
The style of these mysteries is unashamedly at the "cosy" end of the spectrum, however author Fiona Leitch achieves a higher standard of veracity and somewhat grittier content than many other authors working in this sub-genre.
In this instalment, Jodie has been signed up to compete in "The Best of British Baking Roadshow", a thinly veiled facsimile of the much-loved Great British Bake Off. It's a gloriously enticing setting for a cosy murder mystery, and with a great cast of supporting characters, plenty of secrets and skulduggery and a picturesque Cornish setting, it doesn't disappoint!
I'd enthusiastically recommend A Cornish Recipe for Murder, and the whole "Nosey Parker" series to readers who enjoy well-plotted cosy mysteries, with quirky characters and a heart-warming family sub-plot. I can't wait for the next (sixth) book, A Cornish Seaside Murder: A gripping cosy mystery with twists you won’t see coming, due for publication in mid-2023.
