Publisher's summary

Chef Charlie Hunter is just trying for mindfulness and a work/life balance, if such a thing is ever possible in the context of a busy professional kitchen. She's found herself a great podcast that's going to help her get there. Until she finds that her online self-help guru has feet of clay — feet which are much closer to her restaurant than seems possible.

Even more disruptive is the attack on a well known writer in Charlie's quiet Chilterns village of Hampden Green, and the arrest of the village's own celebrity shock jock. Charlie finds herself dealing with more than she can cope with, and never sure where the next attack will come from. Then mere backstabbing turns to murder…

Alex Coombs is criminally underrated

I was a huge fan of Coombs’s Hanlon books, and I wasn’t sure I would like the Old Forge Cafe series. They are indeed different. Hanlon was gritty and dark, though with a touch of humor. The Old Forge Cafe series is much lighter in tone. Humor figures more prominently, but it’s not your grandma’s humor. The characters are well drawn and often hilarious. I love the glimpses into the world of the kitchen. Coombs did something much different with this series and he did it well. Highly recommend all three books in this series.
