Determined Buggy Watson is tackling her biggest case yet. Her team of secret detectives digs into the dark side at Quigley’s chocolate factory, where sweet dreams have turned bitter, and everyone is quitting.
When a factory-worker is killed, Buggy realises she’s bitten off more than she can chew. Rumours of a ghostly spirit and a possessed scarecrow swirl through the building.
Can Buggy get to the chewy centre of the mystery and find the killer before the factory shuts its doors for good?
This clean read is book two of The Slippery Spoon Mysteries. Enjoy it as a standalone or read in series order for more twists than a country lane and a cast of cosy characters you'll be right at home with.
Matilda Swift loves two things: a good cup of tea and a perfectly plotted murder.
She writes clean-read mysteries that offer more twists than a country road, pairing them with cosy characters who feel like old friends. Having lived everywhere from Madagascar to Hong Kong, Matilda eventually returned to the place she loves best: an English village that's less prone to sudden death than the ones in her books, but just as beautiful. Now settled, she’s dedicated herself to the page and has penned over 15 mysteries.
Matilda shares her home with a pair of feline detectives, Miss Marple and Madame Poirot, and her free time is devoted to two very different pursuits. When not out hiking (and looking for inspiration on where to hide her fictional bodies), she turns to domestic pursuits, becoming an accomplished homebody who loves baking traditional English recipes and learning a succession of new, relaxing crafts, from glass fusion to candle making.
