Title: A Cornish Christmas Murder
A PINCH OF PARANOIA
It’s three days before Christmas, and detective-turned-chef Jodie ‘Nosey’ Parker is drafted in to cater a charity event run by a notorious millionaire at a 13th-century abbey on Bodmin Moor.
A DASH OF DECEPTION
Things get more complicated when a snowstorm descends, stranding them all, and the next morning they find one of the guests has been gruesomely murdered in their bed…
A MURDER UNDER THE MISTLETOE
Secrets mull in every corner – can Jodie solve the crime before the killer strikes again?
A Cornish Christmas Murder is a must-read mystery full of heart and humour – perfect for fans of Richard Osman and The Appeal.
Merry Christmas to Nosey Parker (Jodie) and her friends. Well it will be once the small matter of a dead body appearing the morning after a charity event in a large abbey on Bodmin Moor, where Jodie had been catering the night before and ended up staying the night due to snow, turns up.
And so within this cosy mystery series we have the sort of mystery that I always really enjoy when I come across one - a locked room mystery. It is clear that the killer is amongst those at the manor that night, and due to snow related delays it takes a while for the police to arrive, by which stage well Jodie just can't help herself.
It was great to be able to catch up with old friends, and I felt right at home within the pages of this book within the first few pages. I was intrigued by the setting and what we learn about the building, while also rather hoping that just one of Jodie's catering jobs wouldn't involve a dead body - they do seem to follow her around!
Although this time even her daughter, Daisy seems to want to get in on the action, and together with their dog, a friend, and Jodie's mum we have a "crack team" of amateur sleuths trying work out just who did what and when.
As there were assorted people not quite acting normally, there are all manner of secrets to be revealed.
Another excellent addition to this series, which I whizzed through as I was enjoying the story so much. A great Christmas cozy mystery and I am already looking forward to seeing what the the next book in the series will bring.
Thank you to One More Chapter and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
