Foraging for Murder (The Marquess of Mortiforde Mysteries, Band 2) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A food festival. A four-hundred-year grudge. And a butcher who won't be going home.

When Mortiforde hosts its annual food festival, Lord Mortiforde is hoping for artisan cheeses, local ales, and a peaceful weekend. Instead, one butcher has vanished, another has received a sinister threat, and the Vegetarian Society has been issued a very meaty ultimatum.

So when the Council's Chief Archivist disappears — along with the Food History Marquee's star attraction, a seventeenth-century recipe book — it becomes clear that someone is stirring up a grudge that's been simmering for over four hundred years.

Meanwhile, Lady Mortiforde is on a desperate quest for wild boar meat to save her savoury pie entry in the festival's Bake Off competition. And Lord Mortiforde can't help wondering why every butcher in the village takes their pet pig for a late-night walk in the woods…

Suddenly, ancient secrets, missing persons, and very suspicious pork products combine into a mystery that's been marinating far longer than anyone suspected.

He may be settling into the job — but Lord Mortiforde is about to discover that in the charming English town of Mortiforde, old recipes have a habit of calling for blood.
