'While Oxford had Morse, Whitstable, famous for its oysters, has
Pearl' Daily Mail Murder on the Pilgrims Way is the fourth book in
Julie Wassmer's popular crime series - now a major Acorn TV drama,
Whitstable Pearl, starring Kerry Godliman as private detective and
restaurateur, Pearl Nolan. Pearl receives a surprise present from
her mother, Dolly - an early summer break at a riverside manor
house that has been recently transformed into an exclusive hotel -
the newly named Villa Pellegrini. Pellegrini - the Italian word for
pilgrims - reflects the fact that the building lies on the old
Pilgrims Way into Canterbury, and Pearl is looking forward to the
break, not least because DCI Mike McGuire has been neglecting her
due to his work. But when she discovers that she's actually booked
in for a cookery course from the Italian celebrity chef, Nico
Caruso, she begins to think again . . . Pearl doesn't welcome
instruction on cookery at the best of times, and certainly not from
an arrogant chef like Caruso. She goes along, intent on challenging
Caruso's egotism - and a long tradition of men dominating
gastronomy - but soon finds herself distracted, not only by her
enchanting surroundings but by the disparate selection of guests.
She even begins to enjoy Caruso's attentions - and his cookery -
until one of the guests goes missing and it becomes clear that
murder is on the menu. Praise for Julie Wassmer's Whitstable Pearl
Mysteries... 'While Oxford had Morse, Whitstable, famous for its
oysters, has Pearl . . . True to the tradition of classic crime,
[Julie Wassmer] weaves a strong story into a setting that has more
to offer than murder and mayhem' Daily Mail 'As light as a Mary
Berry Victoria sponge, this Middle-England romp is packed with
vivid characters' Myles McWeeney, Irish Independent 'All of the
thrills without any of the gore' The Sun 'This is a quality
title...a very entertaining read' The Puzzle Doctor 'My new
favourite author in the genre' George Galloway 'A wonderful way to
explore Whitstable . . . if you love cosy mysteries, then get
acquainted with Pearl (and her mum and her cats!) and enjoy a trip
to Whitstable through the eyes of this very convincing author' Trip
Fiction 'Proves she's mistress of her craft' John McGhie, author of
White Highlands 'Thoroughly enjoyable with a host of wonderful
characters - I adore Dolly! - and evocative descriptions of
Whitstable. Perfect for foodies too. Pearl is great and the ongoing
will they/won't they love story with McGuire is compelling.
Comforting, cosy and entertaining with excellent Agatha
Christie-style reveals. I love these books!' Jane Wenham-Jones,
author of Mum in the Middle 'If you enjoy cosy crime fiction and
you still haven't picked this series, then you are missing out'
Alba in Bookland 'Julie Wassmer really knows how to tell a story'
Victoria Best, Shiny New Books 'Good, solid whodunits, without
gruesome details or gratuitous violence, Murder on Sea may be just
your cup of tea' Bec Stafford 'Come to Whitstable without actually
coming to Whitstable. A good read!' Anthony Jemmett Praise for the
TV series 'Scandi noir meets the English seaside in Whitstable
Pearl, a murder mystery series based on Julie Wassmer's novels...'
Drama Quarterly '...explores all the murder and debauchery in the
seemingly perfect English seaside town of Whitstable...' Washington
Post '...you never know what might turn up, either on the menu or
alongside an oyster boat.' Wall Street Journal
