Publisher's summary

Pearl receives a surprise present from her mother, Dolly: an early summer break at a riverside manor house that has been recently transformed into an exclusive hotel - the newly named Villa Pellegrini. Pellegrini - the Italian word for pilgrims - reflects the fact that the building lies on the old Pilgrims Way into Canterbury, and Pearl is looking forward to the break, not least because DCI Mike McGuire has been neglecting her due to his work. But when she discovers that she's actually booked in for a cookery course from the Italian celebrity chef Nico Caruso, she begins to think again.... Pearl doesn't welcome instruction on cookery at the best of times, and certainly not from an arrogant chef like Caruso.

She goes along, intent on challenging Caruso's egotism - and a long tradition of men dominating gastronomy - but soon finds herself distracted, not only by her enchanting surroundings but by the disparate selection of guests. She even begins to enjoy Caruso's attentions - and his cookery - until one of the guests goes missing and it becomes clear that murder is on the menu.

Another great story.

I was a little disappointed when I saw the narrator had changed, but I soon grew used to the different style.

A Decent Cozy

I came to this series through the television series and was initially disappointed in how much “fluffier” the books were, but when this passed I was able to settle in to its typical “cozy” book style. But the narrator is very challenging for me. Narration is hard and it takes some talent to do it at all, but where is the direction? She constantly mispronounces words—badly. And it’s not that many words are pronounced differently in the UK than in the state—that’s just as it should be, but yikes! It really is atrocious. And aside from Pearl and maybe one or two other characters she makes everyone sound like caricatures of actors in a 1940’s British B movie! And Dolly sounds 90 instead of early 60’s and suddenly Maguire has a cockney accent!!! Very distracting and it takes a fair amount away from the story—at least for me. I always say it’s very subjective—someone else might enjoy her, but she makes me want to skip the next one…

A good story well told

This was an interesting story. Pearl, taken out of her comfort zone & McGwire TOTALLY out his, both work towards a good ending.
