About the Book:
Cloaked strangers and danger abound as Margery and Clementine Butcher-Baker come to the end of another busy half term as dinner ladies at Summerview Secondary school. The school is abuzz with chatter about the upcoming break, the local harvest festival, and the curious fact that maths teacher Mr Weaver hasn't turned up to work in days. When the pair embark on an evening walk, they stumble across Mr Weaver's body in the woods, a mysterious symbol painted on the tree beside him. As the nights draw in and more symbols appear around Dewstow, the Dinner Lady Detectives are pulled deeper into a tangled case of deceit and chaos. Praised by fellow cosy crime authors as sparkling and full of belly laughs, this fourth outing sees Hannah Hendy on top form. Fans of the series will relish spending more time with the endearing, three-dimensional Margery and Clementine, while newcomers will find it easy to fall for their double act and the eccentric cast of Dewstow locals. With its blend of harvest-festival atmosphere, dark secrets and a killer determined to keep the truth buried, A Frightfully Fatal Affair delivers a cosy yet compelling read that's ideal for curling up with on a chilly autumn evening.
