A quaint village, a missing artist, a deadly secret...

An unexpected detour forces Ruth Morgan, food consultant extraordinaire, to spend a few days in a picturesque village, and although she's keen to get moving again, she sets out to enjoy some quality downtime.

However, when a young artist goes missing, and the landlady of the local bed and breakfast tumbles down a flight of stairs to her death, Ruth suspects foul play.

With the stakes rising quicker than the bistro's pastries, and the mysteries piling up, Ruth must embrace her amateur sleuthing skills. She hopes to locate the missing artist before he becomes the latest victim, but has she bitten off more than she can chew?

The second in a series of absorbing whodunnits with a fun amateur sleuth. Another light-hearted escape for fans of modern British mysteries and female detectives, plus authors like M.C. Beaton, Faith Martin, and Richard Osman.
