Death by Candlelight by Emma Davies

Death by Candlelight by Emma Davies

Francesca Eve thought she was prepared for anything at the events she caters for in her pretty little Shropshire village. Missing canap s? No problem. Burnt brownies? A piece of cake... But a dead body? Now that's a recipe for disaster.

Francesca is nervous about catering her first ever murder mystery party, but it's clear from the clink of champagne flutes and piles of empty plates that the evening is a roaring success. The guests look spectacular in their disguises, whispering and giggling as they try to identify who killed beautiful young Becky. But days later the game takes a sinister turn when Becky is found poisoned, and all the signs point to the culprit being a party guest.

From the woman having an affair to the guest hiding her true identity, everyone had a secret - and it turns out that Becky knew them all. As Fran finds herself centre-stage in a real-life murder mystery, the finger of suspicion points at each guest in turn. And Fran starts to wonder, were any of these secrets dangerous enough to kill for?

Then the body of a second guest is found, and it becomes clear a deranged killer is going off-script. It seems anyone who was involved in the game that night is in their sights, even Fran. Can she unmask the murderer before the final curtain falls?

A page-turning cozy mystery packed with twists. If you love Clare Chase, M.C. Beaton and The Thursday Murder Club you'll absolutely adore this unputdownable whodunnit.

Davies, Emma: - Emma Davies once worked for a design studio, where she was asked to write an autobiographical note. 'I am a bestselling novelist, ' she began, 'currently masquerading as a thirty-something mother of three.' That job didn't work out, but she's now a forty-something mother of three, and she's working on the rest. For years Emma was a finance manager who spent her days looking at numbers, so at night she would throw them away and play with words, practising putting them together into sentences. She now writes in all the gaps between real life. Visit her website, www.emmadaviesauthor.com, where, amongst other things, you can read about her passion for Pringles and singing loudly in the car.
