A Mystery for D.I. Costello #4
Season to Kill
Handsome, cheeky and Welsh, Griff Maddoc is the new celebrity chef in town. He's melting hearts, and even D.I. Angela Costello is a fan! Griff invites the great and good to his book launch at the Chelsea Flower show. But the event comes to an abrupt end when his agent collapses, writhing on the floor having eaten a salad... sprinkled with cyanide. Was Griff the murderer? He handed over the deadly dish. Or was the killer aiming for Griff all along? D.I. Costello must investigate all angles and as she starts to ask questions a complex web of possible motives emerges: an affair, a sinister family grudge, hidden gambling debts. How will Angela unpick the truth... and if Griff was the intended victim, can she do so before the killer turns their hand to murder once more?

Set during the Chelsea Flower Show, in the world of the celebrity chef and a book launch, this is definitely a complex problem for DI Costello and her team - deciding whether the dead man was the intended victim is just the starting problem.
Throw in some complicated family relationships, and at least one affair, and it makes interesting reading.

An entertaining whodunit. A really liked it, although I did find the killer a bit obvious and the motive a bit weak. The suspects were good with plenty of secrets, histories and motives and the police were generally intelligent. The narration was extremely well done and give the story a bit extra

The author has a great recipe here.
Take a prestigious event. Marinate in a subtle blend of infidelity, money, passion, old hatreds and new loves. Add poison, and cook over a slow heat for enough chapters to bring it to a boil, whilst stirring vigorously and seasoning with complex personalities and mixed motives. Serve on a base of careful police procedure and decorate with a sprig of inspiration.
Enjoy a very well seasoned and flavourful murder mystery!
