Synopsis

Prudence Bulstrode has fond memories of St Marianne's School for Girls, the beautiful Cornish school where she boarded as a girl. It was at St Marianne's that Prudence first learned the joy of cooking, from her dear old Home Economics teacher, Mrs Agatha Jubber. So when she's invited back to the school, to lead a summer holidays course in the fundamentals of cookery, Prudence couldn't be more delighted. What's more, it's a chance to show her grand-daughter Suki the way school used to be in the good old days.

But no sooner has Prudence arrived at St Marianne's, a gruesome discovery is made. The builders excavating the old hockey pitch to construct the new dormitories have unearthed human bones - bones dating from Prudence's own time at St Marianne's. Soon, Prudence recollects the story of the vanishing schoolmaster, Mr Scott, and the rumours that spread like wildfire one summer about his illicit affair with Agatha Jubber.
So begins Prudence's very first cold case . . .

About Rosemary Shrager

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.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Charles

An early Nero Wolfe novel which is also one of the best. As much as Wolfe hates to leave home he accepts an invitation to give a speech to the fifteen chefs named the greatest in the world. That doesn't sound like enough incentive to get Wolfe to leave home but he has an ulterior motive. He wants a......more

Goodreads review by Bill

A fine Nero Wolfe, in which the great detective is invited to the annual meeting of a society of the greatest chefs of the world where--of course--a murder occurs. One unfortunate flaw: this novel was published in 1938, and its treatment of the black characters--all servants of course--contains ster......more

Goodreads review by Gauss74

E quindi, è possibile anche pensare ad un romanzo di genere come ad un classico, sotto certe condizioni: la scelta dei curatori della collana Oscar Classici Moderni di inserire Rexs Stout e Nero Wolfe ha questo significato, e mi ha fatto ovviamente molto piacere. Il grande bon vivant tanto antipatico......more
