The Old Forge sits on the village green (complete with duck pond and flint-faced houses) and seems just the place for the high-quality cooking she wants to be known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut instead of rural peace and a chance to lick her wounds, Charlie finds something ugly stirring under the chocolate box perfection. When a prominent local builder is found dead in suspicious circumstances, Charlie the outsider becomes a suspect. And the only way to clear her name seems to be to find out who the real killer is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLuckily she has allies: her student waitress, a kitchen porter making up in muscles what he lacks in brain and a briskly efficient clairvoyant. Using all the craft Charlie's learned in kitchens - discipline, timing, preparation and grim determination - she will be as relentless in her quest to bring a murderer to justice as she is in creating the perfect meal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coombs, Alex","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":48143585050963,"sku":"9781915798725","price":13.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/coombs-alex-alex-coombs-murder-on-the-menu-2023-paperback-9781915798725-1154479647.jpg?v=1743880532","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/alex-coombs-murder-on-the-menu-2023-paperback","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
