About this listen
A totally charming, unputdownable golden age cozy murder mystery
Cream cakes, cucumber sandwiches, apple tarts and… poison? Lady Swift is trying to plan the menu for her wedding, until murder strikes in kitchens across the village!
Lady Eleanor Swift’s marriage to dashing Chief Inspector Hugh Seldon is just days away. There’s a lot to organise from the dress to the catering, including, of course, the all-important wedding cake.
But Eleanor is heartbroken when their chef, apple-cheeked Annie Tibetts, dies of poisoning. And as the doctor confirms her death wasn’t an accident, accusations fly around the whole community.
With more of the village struck down by the poison, Eleanor must unmask a killer who seems intent on spreading chaos amongst her nearest and dearest. Everyone is accusing their neighbour… and Eleanor is in a pickle as the seating plans for the wedding fall apart. But she soon has bigger fish to fry when the source of the poison is traced to a trusted establishment in town. Eleanor is certain they are being framed and that sabotage is afoot…
And when a sample of poisoned wedding cake is delivered anonymously to Hugh working at his station miles away in Oxford, Eleanor realises that while she has been planning for the future, her past has been catching up with her. Eleanor must race across the countryside to save her love from certain death. Can Eleanor find the proof in the pudding and save Hugh in time? And will the poisoner finally get their just desserts?
A gripping and totally twisty historical cozy mystery set in an English village. For fans of T.E. Kinsey, Catherine Coles and L.B. Hathaway.

I loved this book having read all the others over the last few months. Karen Cass is such a brilliant narrator she really brings the characters to life. I’ve just checked and book 22 is coming, yay!

Everything I wanted in a Verity bright novel!
I have not needed as many tissues before this book. Loved it, is not a strong enough comment. The writing, the narration were as excellent as ever. Well done to all. Hope this is not the end?

A great narration of a great story once again
I have all these books on audible. The narration makes the characters come alive. I love the banter between Eleanor and her staff. Poor Huw, Eleanor’s fiancé, he doesn’t stand a chance! The story was good. Easy to listen to. Lots of twists and turns. I enjoyed it very much.

Highly Recommended
I loved this book. I'm a huge fan of Ellie and this one did not disappoint. As always, the characters and storyline were well drawn and enjoyable and I 'read' it in one day - publication day. Must also mention the narrator, who is fabulous and is the voice of Eleanor for me.

A Recipe for Muder
Another terrific murder mystery for Lady Eleanor Swift, as she gets things ready for her wedding. We all the up gravel there was a mass poisoning of the village and Lady Swift is asked to assist when one of the victims dies.
With lots going on this fast past story is fun to listen to, with excellent narration from Karen Cass.
