About Parties, Pavlova & Poison: A Just Desserts Club Mystery - Book 1

A brand new culinary cozy mystery set in the picturesque Devonshire village of Little Sweeting where murder, mayhem and macarons are all on the menu. Welcome to the Waddling Duck Café! As Lottie Chadwick serves glasses of tangy lemonade and ice-cold prosecco at her summer garden party, she couldn’t be happier. The Waddling Duck Café, with its lavender-coloured façade and matching bunting, is a roaring success and has given Lottie a chance to escape the heartbreak of losing her much-loved job as a food stylist for a celebrity chef in London. But then disaster strikes when popstar-in-the-making Sasha Richards is found dead in her holiday lodge after the party. Now all eyes are on Lottie…have her famous mini apricot pavlovas poisoned her most high-profile guest? Or is someone trying to sabotage Sasha’s chance of stardom? If Lottie wants to save her picture-perfect life, and the reputation of the Waddling Duck Café, she’s going to have to get to the bottom of the mystery…and fast! Will it be a piece of cake, or will the culprit escape their just desserts?

Perfect for fans of cozy village mysteries, feisty female sleuths, small-town secrets, and twisty murder investigations, with a generous sprinkle of wit, charm, and a splash of prosecco added for good measure
