Much Ado About Stuffing
(2025)(The sixth book in the Parchment Paper Mystery series)
A novel by Matilda Swift
A knead-to-know whodunit with a dash of yuletide chaos...
Before the Parchment Paper Tearooms, there was Jessica Askew and her humble food truck, The Rolling Pin. Working the bustling Cambridge market in the freezing run-up to Christmas, Jessica is weighing her options: a profitable holiday season or a complicated trip back to Little Quillington.
But her best friend, Pippa Pankhurst, calls with a crisis that changes her plans. Pippa's younger brother, Finn, a Cambridge University PhD student, has vanished, causing panic in the Pankhurst family. When Jessica finally tracks him down, she finds him on the brink of fleeing: he's discovered his recent Snow Ball date dead, and he's sure the police will put him top of their suspect list.
Pippa rushes to Cambridge to join the investigation, and with the unlikely assistance of Hera, the affectionate college beagle, the two friends must sift through academic rivalries, festive cheer, and dangerous secrets to find the killer. Along the way, they eat copious amounts of cake and uncover buried truths related to the Askew family legacy.
Can Jessica and Pippa solve the murder before the Christmas countdown hits zero and Finn is permanently put on ice?
Find out in Much Ado About Stuffing, book six of the Parchment Paper Mysteries. This prequel novella is perfect for fans of Agatha Frost, HY Hanna, and Ellie Alexander. This clean read includes recipes for two traditional English bakes and features the antics of Matilda Swift's real-life cats, Madame Poirot and Miss Marple.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
