THE PEAK DISTRICT POISONER A Derbyshire Cozy Mystery Where the Labels Lie. A Culinary Cozy Mystery with Recipes - The Flour Power Mysteries Book 4 (en Inglés) - Andy Andy Nichols

A trusted market. A perfect lie. A jar of honey that kills.

Bakewell's beloved Saturday market has always run on one thing: trust. But when a respected stallholder collapses behind his Peak District provenance display, baker‑sleuth Olivia Baker is the first to notice what everyone else misses - the honey jar on his table wasn't what the label claimed. And neither was he.

"The honey jar... his personal tasting jar... had been used."

What begins as a tragic market‑day death quickly unravels into a meticulously engineered food‑fraud empire, a forged certification scheme, and a marriage built on secrets more toxic than the poison that killed Raymond Goss.

Someone has been preparing for this moment for years. And they've planted the evidence in plain sight.

This isn't just a whodunnit - it's a slow-burn, character‑rich, food‑infused investigation set in the heart of the Peak District. Expect:

Olivia recognises the scent, the spoon, the lie - and the plant growing quietly in the victim's garden.

"A clump of Colchicum autumnal... enough to produce a lethal dose."

Fake labels. Fake provenance. Real consequences.

A furious cheesemaker. A frightened consultant. A wife with a three‑week head start on the investigation. A market full of whispers.

precisely, patiently, and with a nose for what doesn't belong.

• A warm, atmospheric Peak District setting - cobbled squares, early‑morning bread ovens, and the quiet politics of a small town. • A twist‑tight plot where every label, every jar, every Friday‑evening restock matters. • A villain hiding in plain sight - calm, composed, and already rehearsing their grief. • Recipes woven through the story - from elderflower tarts to heritage‑grain sourdough - each revealing something about the case. • Olivia & Callum's evolving marriage, tested by secrets, ambition, and a promotion that could change everything.

When journalist Celeste Marchmont accidentally leaks her fraud dossier to the wrong inbox, the countdown begins. Raymond knew. Diane knew he knew. And by Friday night, the honey jar was waiting.

Olivia follows the trail from fake cheddar to forged certification schemes, from warehouse repackaging lines to a garden planted with poison years before the murder. Every clue tightens the net - until the truth becomes undeniable.

This wasn't impulse. This wasn't panic. This was premeditation disguised as routine.
