Description

Cloaked strangers and danger abound...Margery and Clementine Butcher-Baker are coming to the end of another busy half term as dinner ladies at Summerview Secondary school.

The school is abuzz with chatter about the upcoming break, the local harvest festival, and the fact that maths teacher, Mr Weaver, hasn't turned up to work in days. When the pair embark on an evening walk, they discover Mr Weaverâ€™s body in the woods, with a mysterious symbol painted on the tree beside him.

Something suspicious is clearly afoot. As the nights grow darker and the mysterious symbols continue to appear around Dewstow, the Dinner Lady Detectives are pulled deeper into the case.

Can they solve the mystery as deceit and chaos reigns, or will their killer pull off another deadly trick?A fun and charming cosy mystery, perfect for fans of J.M Hall and Fiona Leitch. Praise for Hannah Hendyâ€˜Hannah is at the top of the tree of modern whodunnits.

The characters, bar none, are real; the settings are glorious and the plots are devilishly cleverâ€™ Ian Moore, author of Death and Croissantsâ€˜Who knew being a dinner lady could be so dangerous - but so much fun?!

With a plot that's twistier than school dinner spag bol, Clem and Margery are the only school dinner ladies guaranteed to give you belly laughs rather than indigestionâ€™ Fiona Leitch, author of The Cornish Village Murderâ€˜Hendy is, by far, one of the very best cosy writers we have - and A Frightfully Fatal Affair sees her on sparkling formâ€™ Jonathan Whitelaw, author of The Bingo Hall Detectivesâ€˜Twisty, delightful, and laugh-out-loud funny.

I fell in love with Margery and Clementine from the first pageâ€™ Antony Johnston, author of The Dog Sitter Detective on The Dinner Lady Detectivesâ€˜I really enjoyed this - a terrific zesty look at the dark underside of a modern-day secondary schoolâ€™ J.M.

Hall, author of A Spoonful of Murderâ€˜A captivating murder mysteryâ€™ Women's Ownâ€˜Great to catch up with the dinner ladies and their detective skills.
