A Bitter Feast by Deborah Crombie

4.0

Deborah Crombie is able to weave together a wide variety of characters and situations in her mysteries. Familiar characters are here as well as new ones as four of the detectives who form the base for the series travel down to Melody’s family home in the Cotswolds. From my experience Crombie is true to the area and also to the kitchens of well-run restaurants and pubs. Children and animals also play a part in this book. Crombie pulls it all together into a satisfying mystery and there are enough dead bodies but not much gore. Strong series, good entry.
