A Perfectly Plotted Murder

THE UNMISSABLE NEW FUN MURDER MYSTERY IN THE MUCH-LOVED COSY CRIME DINNER LADY DETECTIVES SERIES

Someone has been meddling with malicious intentions…

Margery and Clementine Butcher-Baker are looking forward to a quiet school year but their plans for peace are foiled. A new teacher, Mr Jackson, is found dead in the school kitchen. He’s been electrocuted by a faulty piece of kitchenware which Margery knows for certain was working the day before.

With the kitchen’s risk assessments missing and CCTV blocked by a strategically placed tea towel, suspicion falls squarely on Margery. Under pressure from outraged parents and governors, headteacher Rose Smith has no choice but to suspend her.

Margery knows she isn’t a murderer and Clementine is desperate to clear her name. But when all the evidence points towards Margery, proving her innocence is far more difficult than they ever imagined.

The perfect cosy crime read for fans of Richard Osman, Kristen Perrin and Janice Hallett.
