Death on the Menu by Emma Davies
5.0

The Adam and Eve Mystery Series is becoming a favorite as both Francesca and Adam are well plotted and interesting characters.
There's always something unusual and they remind me of the Golden Age puzzles. There's no locked room or impossible crime but there's always some puzzle to solve.
This one was great as there's a whodunit, a dysfunctional family, a treasure hunt, and a highly entertaining story.
It's a slow burning story but I enjoyed how the author introduced the different characters and the setting.
Both are important for the mystery part and I enjoyed it even if there's no murder.
Adam and Francesca are as likeable as usual and the author did an excellent job in developing the other characters.
A solid mystery that kept me hooked and guessing.
I can't wait to read other stories, this one is highly recommended.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
