A fatal feast. A missing body. A seaside sleuth.
Liz McLuckie has retired to Whitby – a picturesque fishing town on the North Yorkshire coast – to recover after the death of her husband. But Whitby isn’t the peaceful retreat she imagined.
When one of Liz’s friends is accused of poisoning the town mayor, Liz is determined to clear her name. She suspects someone has deliberately triggered the mayor’s fatal allergy, but who? The mystery deepens further when the mayor’s body is stolen the night before his funeral. Who would do such a thing? And why? Liz is determined to get to the bottom of it all, with help from her motley collection of friends and Nelson the bull terrier – the ugliest (and bravest!) dog in Yorkshire.
Death At The Feast — Book 3 in the Kipper Cottage Mystery series. Perfect for fans of Stella Cameron and Frances Evesham.
Another review from June……. 🙁 working my way through them. My apologies to the author and publisher for this.
What a fab cozy mystery this was. And one I thoroughly enjoyed. I loved not playing detective and watching Liz sleuth her way through the book. This is the 3rd book, and I haven’t read the first two, but never fear you will be safe to do so. However, a few breadcrumbs in the book make me want to go back and read the others.
I found a new character to despite, Flint! God that woman was awful and not a great police officer. She was blinkered and has a thing against Liz!! I adored Iris and her loud ways, she seems like a misunderstood soul with her loud voice. And Dora, well she grows on you. They are only the side characters!! I loved Benedict and love to see more of him in the next book.
I just love that this mystery is not about 20-odd-year-olds but 50-odd-year-olds, as some of the scenes were hilarious enough as age played a factor. Nothing insensitive, just a play on things and I enjoyed that.
I seem to be delving more into cozy mysteries lately as they are so easy to become absorbed in. Yes, there are murders. But everything seems lighthearted with our amateur detective and it’s sweet. I just want the next Liz book now!!!
Jans’s writing was a delight to read too! She kept you turning the pages as you become embroiled in the mysteries, the twists and turns, and even the everyday. It was perfectly plotted and thoroughly enjoyable!
Until the next time xxx
