"Francesca Eve, caterer extraordinaire, has come to Claremont House to work for the cream of society. A full breakfast spread? Simple. A glorious picnic lunch? Easy as pie. But a dead body for dinner was definitely not on the menu... No sooner has Francesca Eve turned up for a jam-packed weekend of gourmet catering at a posh country house than she realises how challenging this event is set to be. Not only are the hosts wealthy - and demanding - beyond her wildest dreams, but each of the guests is more difficult than the last. But she never expected the host to turn up dead... Suspicion falls on everyone in the house - could there be a murderer in their midst? Is the incredibly glamorous, and now extremely rich, widow really as upset as she's making out? What secret is the housekeeper hiding? Whose money troubles are now forgotten? As the only person without a motive, Fran's intimate knowledge of the house party puts her in the prime position to help the police. As rumours swirl and guests' pasts come to light, someone else is found dead. But when the police arrest their chief suspect, Fran becomes convinced they have the wrong person - the evidence is almost too neat to be true. So she decides to strike out alone, in the country house where the killer is still staying... Someone has killed twice to keep their secret safe. Will Fran be able to unmask them, or will this weekend turn out to be her deadliest job ever?"--Publisher.… (más)

Catering to the ostentatious rich can be murder. Frann Eve and her friend's son Adam are embroiled in a murder for the second time in their cooperative association. Fran is there to cater for a couple of days and Adam is there for research in the process of computer game development but brought along his lock picks and tiny gadgets anyway. When the body is found Fran notifies the DCI who believed her last time and they began their parallel investigations. Including the theft of a valuable painting! Loved this fairly lighthearted whodunit!
I requested and received a digital ARC of this book from Bookouture via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you! ( )
