Murder on the Pilgrims Way

Julie Wassmer

Pearl receives a surprise present from her mother: an early summer break at a riverside manor house that has been recently transformed into an exclusive hotel. The building lies on the old Pilgrims Way into Canterbury, and Pearl is looking forward to the break. 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 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..
