The Dinner Lady Detectives (Dinner Lady Detectives, #1)

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Murder is a dish best served ice cold... Margery and Clementine are enjoying a peaceful middle-age together in the small, idyllic town of Dewstow, and eagerly awaiting retirement from their work on the front line serving meals to the students at Summerview secondary school. Their calm life is shattered when their kitchen manager is found dead in the school’s walk-in freezer. The police are adamant that it’s an open-and-shut case of accidental death. Margery and Clementine are convinced there’s something far more nefarious going on, and they take it upon themselves to investigate. As they inch closer to the truth, it becomes clear that someone will stop at nothing to keep the pair quiet. Will the perpetrator get their just-desserts before their time runs out?

    [1.5] i was looking forward to the cosy mystery vibe, but i could just not get on with this. i found every single character to be annoying, and lacking common sense, and the plot was mostly unnecessary; that is the book could have said what it was trying to within about 30 pages, instead of 200. i also hate when authors try and weave comedy and jokes into their books so forcefully, because it's obvious what they're doing and it never works for me.
