The Last Supper: The irresistible debut novel where cosy crime and cookery collide!: Prudence Bulstrode

Autor Rosemary Shrager
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 sep 2022

O rivală găsită moartă chiar înainte de un eveniment culinar de prestigiu. Un conac din Cotswolds marcat de o crimă istorică nerezolvată. Prudence Bulstrode, o bucătăreasă cu personalitate efervescentă, acceptă să preia frâiele bucătăriei la Farleigh Manor, dar realizează rapid că meniul serii include și un ingredient letal: crima. Remarcăm modul în care Rosemary Shrager folosește expertiza sa culinară reală pentru a condimenta o intrigă polițistă clasică. Observăm o tensiune care crește treptat, asemenea unui sufleu pregătit sub presiune, pe măsură ce secretele vechi ale conacului se ciocnesc cu motivele foarte moderne ale unui ucigaș prezent la cină. În tradiția stabilită de Hannah Hendy în The Dinner Lady Detectives, acest roman explorează universul detectivilor amatori care își folosesc abilitățile profesionale — în acest caz, finețea gastronomică și spiritul de observație deprins în bucătăriile de elită — pentru a deconspira vinovații. Dacă în lucrările sale anterioare, precum Rosemary Shrager's Cookery Course, autoarea ne învăța rigoarea tehnicilor culinare, aici transpune acea precizie în construcția unui mister de tip 'Golden Age'. Suntem de părere că amestecul de umor britanic, detalii despre vânătoare și rețete sofisticate oferă o experiență de lectură vibrantă, unde miza nu este doar succesul cinei, ci supraviețuirea protagonistei.

Cititorul câștigă nu doar o poveste captivantă despre secrete de familie și rivalități profesionale, ci și o incursiune autentică în atmosfera tensionată a bucătăriilor de conac.

Despre autor

Rosemary Shrager este o figură emblematică a gastronomiei britanice, cunoscută publicului larg ca maestru bucătar și prezentatoare TV. Și-a construit cariera lucrând cu chefi de renume precum Pierre Koffmann și Jean-Christophe Novelli, devenind ulterior o prezență constantă în emisiuni precum „Ladette to Lady” sau „I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!”. După ce a publicat numeroase cărți de bucate de succes, inclusiv Rosemary Castle Cook, Shrager a decis să își canalizeze pasiunea pentru literatura polițistă în scrierea seriei Prudence Bulstrode, împletind armonios experiența sa de o viață din bucătărie cu mecanismele genului crime.

Notă biografică

National treasure Rosemary Shrager endeared herself to the nation when she took part in I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! where she proved she could cook just about anything, anywhere. Her most recent tv appearances have been equally well received - Netflix's Best Leftovers Ever!, Cooking with the Stars, where Rosemary mentored Johnny Vegas throughout the series , and Fishing Scotland's Lochs and Rivers for Channel 5.

First and foremost Rosemary is a talented and versatile chef who loves talking about food almost as much as she loves cooking. During lockdown she began her own online demonstrations on Facebook and YouTube, and she has now begun her own virtual cookery school, details for which are on www.rosemaryshrager.com.

When not teaching and cooking, Rosemary avidly reads and watches crime fiction, so much so that she wondered whether she had it in her to write a book in which crime and cookery collide... and The Last Supper is the winning result, introducing Rosemary to a new crime readership who in turn will be treated to several more outings with retired celebrity chef Prudence Bulstrode over the coming years.
