The Poison Pen
(2018)(The second book in the Gold and Silver Murder Mystery series)
A novel by Robert Innes
Gold and Silver are BACK! Be careful what you eat...
Since their first steps into the world of amateur investigating, Nicola Golding and Alex Silverstone have found their lives returning to normal at The Sunset Diner. Nicola is still trying to get her blog off the ground, and Alex is still the best chef the restaurant has ever seen. The last thing Nicola expects is to have to investigate another murder.
Fergus Oldman, an infamous and much loathed food critic, is coming to critically review the restaurant and Alex's cooking, and it soon becomes clear that the two have a history. Soon, a good review is the last thing on anyone's mind when Fergus dies in the middle of his meal. He's been poisoned, and to all intents and purposes, Alex is the top suspect.
To have any chance of saving Alex and his career, Nicola must find out the truth as to just how Fergus was killed, but as time goes on, she realises how little she actually knows about Alex Silverstone, and the shocks and surprises are only just beginning...
