What each book brings to the series

The Dinner Lady Detectives — Meet Margery and Clementine enjoying middle-age in the idyllic town of Dewstow. Between serving meals at Summerview Secondary School and planning retirement, they can’t resist getting involved when small-town mysteries surface.

An Unfortunate Christmas Murder — Winter arrives and Margery prepares for her first Christmas as the school’s kitchen manager. With Clementine by her side, she juggles festive duties and nosy instincts as a holiday-time mystery unfolds in Dewstow.

A Terrible Village Poisoning — On a summer break the Butcher-Baker duo visits St-Martins-on-the-Water. A restful getaway turns into a puzzling investigation, proving that holidays rarely stay peaceful for these intrepid sleuths.

A Frightfully Fatal Affair — As half-term ends and the local harvest festival approaches, Summerview is buzzing with rumors — and Margery and Clementine are right in the middle of a social swirl that leads to a chilling revelation.

A Gravely Troubling Discovery — Warned to keep out of police business, the pair are drawn back in when a body is uncovered under the school playground during renovations. Their persistence uncovers secrets others hoped would stay buried.

An Extremely Unlikely Death — A routine welfare check turns grim when Mr Fitzgerald is found dead at the bottom of his stairs. Broken glass, a locked cupboard and a bewildered community give Margery and Clementine another tricky puzzle to solve.
