Death in Nonna's Kitchen cover

'An irresistibly delicious mix of cooking and murder' Trisha Ashley

When famous TV chef Matteo McLeish turns up at the Old Forge Café and offers chef Charlie Hunter a place in his kitchen for the duration of Hampden Green’s local opera festival, she thinks it’s because he rates her cooking skills.

In fact it’s because he’s heard she’s good in a crisis. The wholesome star of Nonna’s Kitchen is being blackmailed by one of his team.

Tempted by an improbably large pay cheque and the boost to her CV, Charlie accepts his offer.

Does the threat lie close to home, or back in Italy with Matteo’s culinary roots?

And can Charlie find the blackmailer before she’s swept up in an avalanche of death and scandal?

'Takes two of the world's greatest pleasures -- food and mystery writing -- and combines them exquisitely. I devoured it!' Thomas Mogford on Murder on the Menu


'What a great book, it's a page turner, I couldn't put it down, fast paced, full on in Nonnas kitchen, takes me back in to kitchen service, so many twists and turns and keeps you guessing Until the end, can't wait for the next book. Alex Coombs, faultless, gritty and unputdownable!
