Cookbook writer and nononsense television personality Mary Mackerel must leave London in a hurry after a prime-time TV gaffe sends public affection curdling. Reluctantly, she takes her publisher's advice to retire to the English countryside and write a cookbook that will restore her reputation. And so, she finds herself at the edge of the world: Penzance, Cornwall. The move also affords her an enticing opportunity when she buys a run-down tea shoppe with hopes of turning it into a bakery and restaurant: The Mermaid. But when her attempt to charm the locals with free Cornish pasties ends with one of them dead from poisoning, Mary is swiftly branded a murderer and the press smells blood. To clear her name and save her fledgling business, Mary must turn chef-detective,a role she thought she had left behind in the war.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Guisborough Bookshop Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53980882239824,"sku":"9780749033132","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0860\/4988\/2448\/files\/9780749033132.jpg?v=1794415238","url":"https:\/\/guisboroughbookshop.co.uk\/products\/9780749033132","provider":"guisboroughbookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
