I received an advance review copy for free thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture and I am leaving this review voluntarily
Francesca Eve thought she was prepared for anything at the events she caters for in her pretty little Shropshire village. Missing canapes? No problem. Burnt brownies? A piece of cake… But a dead body? Now that's a recipe for disaster.
Francesca is nervous about catering her first ever murder mystery party, but it's clear from the clink of champagne flutes and piles of empty plates that the evening is a roaring success. The guests look spectacular in their disguises, whispering and giggling as they try to identify who killed beautiful young Becky. But days later the game takes a sinister turn when Becky is found poisoned, and all the signs point to the culprit being a party guest.
The series title is clever, it took me a while to catch on seeing as the main characters are Adam and Fran (Eve). In a difference to everything I seem to have read recently there is no romance, but there is a well-plotted mystery. A very nicely written book; easy to read and very enjoyable. An unusual pairing makes a great introduction to the series.
