A Recipe for Murder

Tea? Coffee? Murder!, Book 9

By: Ellen Barksdale

Narrated by: Jessica Whittaker

A female camper has been found dead in Pelham Woods near Earlsraven. The cause of death: a stew of deadly poisonous mushrooms cooked on her gas stove. But the victim turns out to be Dutch celebrity chef Keetje Koopmans, who would never have made such a mistake. What's more, these mushrooms don't grow in the region! Nathalie, Louise and Constable Strutner investigate, but all the suspects serve up impeccable alibis. So, who is to blame for this recipe for murder?

About the series: There was nothing in the will about this...

Cottages, English roses and rolling hills: that's Earlsraven. In the middle of it all: the "Black Feather". Not only does young Nathalie Ames unexpectedly inherit this cosy inn from her aunt, she also falls heir to her aunt's secret double life! She solved criminal cases together with her cook Louise, a former agent of the British Crown. And while Nathalie is still trying to warm up to the quirky villagers, she discovers that sleuthing runs in the family.

Who is Fred?

A good story, as usual, but why did the boyfriend's name change? Who is Evan, the artist?

Distracting Continuity Error

Suddenly, love interest Evan is …“Fred Astaire”…HOW did this error get missed in the edits?! Frustrating after getting so many books into his existence.

Disappointed in the series’ sloppiness..and silliness.

I enjoyed the series for the first few books, but something has happened recently. I agree with the other reviews that it almost seems like someone else/AI is writing it. I love a cozy mystery story but these episodes/stories have gotten silly and are almost caricatures of their previous selves. Sadly, I also purchased the next two books, but don’t think I will listen.

Just confused why the boyfriend’s name is suddenly different…

It’s fine. But almost like it was written by someone different from the other episodes.

What happened to Evan?

It is so confusing why Evan’s name changed from Evan to Fred. Same author and same reader… very confusing ti make changes at book 9.
