Description
The fifth book in the Lord Terrence Reid/Anne Michaels mystery series, Violent Seeds takes the couple to the picturesque English Cotswolds for a gourmet experience that turns deadly. Detective Superintendent Lord Terrence Reid hopes for a quiet week with his family in the Cotswolds while his wife, Lady Anne, restores Whitethorn Manor's famous walled garden. The manor's Summer of Chefs program promises seven nights of haute cuisine from a celebrated mystery chef, just the respite his family needs after his father's recent heart attack. But when the mystery chef turns out to be Reid's mother's former lover--a man whose talent for creating exquisite dishes is matched only by his appetite for cruelty--Reid realizes his family's invitation was no coincidence. And the chef hasn't come to dazzle; he's come to settle old scores with the guests--Reid's own parents and headstrong sister among them. After murder disturbs the bucolic calm of the Cotswolds, and his family members become prime suspects, Reid must navigate a tangled web of decades-old grudges and fresh deceits to uncover the truth before another body turns up on the deadly menu. Fans of Deborah Crombie, Elizabeth George, Tana French, Agatha Christie, Karin Slaughter, and other literary or psychological mysteries will love this series!
