PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Alex Coombs was born in Lambeth in South London and studied Arabic at Oxford and Edinburgh Universities. Murder on the Menu is the first in a new series: the Old Forge Café Mysteries. Alex lives in the Chilterns.
'Takes two of the world's greatest pleasures - food and mystery writing - and combines them exquisitely. I devoured it!' Thomas Mogford An irresistably delicious mix of cooking and murder, and a memorable heroine in chef Charlie, as she opens her new restaurant in what she hopes will be a peaceful village. It has all the ingredients I want from a cosy crime novel and I couldn't put it down. -- Trisha Ashley I really enjoyed reading Murder on the Menu, mostly after my work, in the late evenings and smiling to myself with the kitchen and food anecdotes as they were right on point, the story flowed and I was wanting to know what was next for Charlie, I felt as though I knew her, a great story that felt like it was not fictional at all. -- Andre Garrett 'Take a chef with a wry sense of humour, a Chilterns village where shady shenanigans lead to murder, and stir until the plot thickens. Alex Coomb's intriguing recipe kept me turning the pages. Highly enjoyable' - Frances Brody, author of Kate Shackleton crime novels.
