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.

Critic reviews

‘A sparklingly delicious confection to satisfy the mystery reader’s appetite’ Helena Dixon, bestselling author of the Miss Underhay Mysteries
All stars

A good listen but not as good as her first book in this series. Still worth 4 stars though and the narrator does bring the characters to life.

An artistic tale.

A really lovely story with excellent characters and a good story that is well paced and fun. I particularly loved the bits that involved cake. I would thoroughly recommend.

Loved it!!

Not as good as the first book, but not horrible either. I’m not sure that I understand (or approve of) the ‘love’ interest. It seemed a bit unnecessary, but was obviously a way around the plot point…

I still enjoy the characters, so will continue reading the series.

Zara is an excellent narrator and that’s more than half of the success of this series for me.
