Foraging for Murder

Three butchers. Two deaths. One four-hundred-year-old grudge. It's Aldermaston's first food festival as the Eighth Marquess of Mortiforde and it's not going well. One butcher is missing. Another has been threatened. And the Vegetarian Society has been sent a meaty ultimatum. Meanwhile, Lady Mortiforde desperately needs her husband to find some wild boar meat for her savoury pie entry into the festival's Bake Off competition. When the Council's Chief Archivist disappears, along with the Food History Marquee's star attraction, a seventeenth-century recipe book, Aldermaston has all the ingredients of a murder mystery that's been marinating for over four hundred years. Can he find the missing butchers before it's too late? Will Lady Mortiforde avoid a soggy bottom in the Bake Off competition? And why do all the butchers take their pet pigs for a walk in the woods at night?
