The Cornish Wedding Murder The Cornish Wedding Murder

Publisher Description

‘A sparklingly delicious confection to satisfy the mystery reader’s appetite’ Helena Dixon, bestselling author of the Miss Underhay Mysteries

Still spinning from the hustle and bustle of city life, Jodie ‘Nosey’ Parker is glad to be back in the Cornish village she calls home. Having quit the Met Police in search of something less dangerous, the change of pace means she can finally start her dream catering company and raise her daughter, Daisy, somewhere safer.

But there’s nothing quite like having your first job back at home be catering an ex-boyfriend’s wedding to remind you of just how small your village is. And when the bride vanishes, Jodie is drawn into the investigation, realising that life in the countryside might not be as quaint as she remembers.

With a missing bride on their hands, murder and mayhem lurks around every corner…

But surely saving the day will be a piece of cake for this not-so-amateur sleuth?

This title was previously published as Murder on the Menu.

About the author

Fiona Leitch is a writer with a chequered past. She's written for football and motoring magazines, DJ'ed at illegal raves and is a stalwart of the low budget TV commercial, even appearing as the Australasian face of a cleaning product called 'Sod Off'. After living in London and Cornwall she's finally settled in sunny New Zealand, where she enjoys scaring her cats by trying out dialogue on them. She spends her days dreaming of retiring to a crumbling Venetian palazzo, walking on the windswept beaches of West Auckland, and writing funny, flawed but awesome female characters.

Her debut novel 'Dead in Venice' was published by Audible in 2018 as one of their Crime Grant finalists. Fiona also writes screenplays and was a finalist in the Athena Film Festival Writers Lab, co-run by Meryl Streep's IRIS company.

The Cornish Wedding Murder

Very good and unusual read. People eating proper (and rubbish) food. Humorous with an interesting ending.

An easy breezy whodunnit

If cosy crime fiction with tight-knit communities, and a writing style that is light on murder details but heavy on the amusing side of everyday life then Fiona Leitch is a welcome addition to the party.

I enjoyed this read, although sometimes I did feel like I was reading the musings of a teenager and not a 40 year old ex-cop, but perhaps we’re all teenagers at heart.

For example:
“I shuddered, and this time it had nothing to do with the image of him in his pants.”

“Luckily, he'd always been good with his hands (certainly according to my friend Helen, who had gone out with him in the sixth form)”

There’s nothing groundbreaking here literature wise and it’s certainly not an edge-of-your-seat page turner, but if an easy breezy whodunnit is what you’re after The Cornish Wedding Murder is definitely a fun option.
