Mrs Mackerel and the Poisoned Pasty Puzzle (Murder is on the menu in this new Cornish cosy crime series)

1958. Cookbook writer and television personality Mary Mackerel must leave London in a hurry when public affection for her curdles. Her publisher advises her to go deep into the British countryside and write a cookbook that will reestablish her reputation. Reluctantly, Mary sells up and endeavours to brush off being exiled to what she thinks is the edge of the world: Penzance, Cornwall. There she buys a run-down tea shoppe with hopes of turning it into a bakery and restaurant. To ingratiate herself with the locals, Mary bakes her adapted version of Cornish-ish Pasties and gives the tasty treats away. After one of the locals dies of poisoning moments afterwards, the whole town points the finger at Mary as a murderer. Soon, the local and then national press have gleefully picked up on the story. Mary must turn chef-detective to clear her name and save her fledgling business.
