A fun, joyous, mindless romp through the Wessex countryside with Mrs Josie Whetford, a pub owner who wishes to convert her country pub into a gourmet restaurant to appeal to the trail walkers and tourists in her tiny wee village. However, not all is golden in this idyllic English countryside. What is going on with the meat packing houses and why are people disappearing. And why did the policeman who put away her husband in jail for life show up. This delightful book is like a decadent dessert. Protagonist: Josie Welford Setting: present-day England Series #1 When Josie Welford settles in an idyllic West Country village she honestly believes she can bury her past. She becomes the owner of the local pub, and becomes a thriving and welcome member of the community. That is until Inspector Nick Thomas, the man who put her husband in jail appears on the scene. But Nick has a new agenda and is no longer after Josie. In his new position as inspector for the Food Standards Agency, he convinces Josie to change her local suppliers, a far from popular move in the close-knit community. Almost immediately she finds herself ostracized. When the village vet disappears without a trace, Josie begins to wonder what the village and its erstwhile friendly occupants are hiding? Reluctantly, she finds herself having to turn to Nick in order to get to the bottom of the mystery. Fifty-something Brummie Josie is a hoot. I loved her. Funny, down to earth, warm-hearted, practical, she's got a different spin on life. Well, if I'd been the child bride of a well-known Birmingham gangster who spent the last twenty-five years of our thirty-year marriage behind bars, I'd probably have a different spin on life, too. The mystery was a bit too easy to solve, but the ride was more than worth it. I hope Cutler continues with this character. Josie has a lot more to say! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

It's a good fun bit of light reading, not too cosy and twee, but still a long way from hard boiled. This is my first book by this author. She has another detective series, which I am now inclined to look out for in the second hand and remainder bins. (
