A Recipe for Murder, the 21 book in the Lady Eleanor Swift Mystery series, sees a figure, clad in black, creep down an alleyway as dawn is breaking, mixing something from a container into a sack of flour just delivered, before turning and walking away.
Chaos is reigning in what is normally the well run and an orderly Henley Hall, as preparations are underway for the long awaited wedding of Lady Eleanor Swift to the handsome Hugh Seldon, the love of her life.
The annual Spring Supper is being celebrated in Little Buckford and despite her misgivings, Lady Eleanor has allowed Clifford to talk her into attending this year’s event. The morning after the Spring Supper a woman is found dead, another in hospital and Ellie is feeling somewhat terrible with an upset stomach. The ladies of the Hall are also indisposed.
Feeling somewhat frazzled by recent events and the list of tasks, set by Clifford still to complete, when she is asked to assist the local Constabulary she realises she has little choice, as accusations fly thick and fast with people’s livelihoods becoming endangered.
As the days rapidly draw closer to her wedding, the culprit is still at large and Ellie wonders if they will strike again, as there have been several more cases of what appear to be food poisoning and another death. She and Hugh are also now being directly targeted, which is causing serious concern, as the attacks are subtle but deadly in intent.
With the return of Clifford from London and Hugh’s expertise, they believe, with the use of some carefully thought through strategies, they know who the killer is and how to catch them.
A Recipe for Murder is fast paced, full of the unexpected and ends with a wonderful, teary and romantic wedding – at last!
What next for the wedded couple is yet to be discovered, so look out for the next book in the Lady Eleanor Swift Mystery Series from Verity Bright.
