She thought it was organic bread. She was wrong. Food Standards Agency’s most unfortunate inspector, Emily Underwood, is finally doing okay at work. Apart from finding the odd dead customer in a kebab shop that is. When she has an expected brush with a Bishop, things start to go downhill fast. Rupert Graves is the leader of the smallest cult in East Anglia. Although his motley crew of militant vegetarians are primarily focused on sex and drugs, they’re also determined to highlight the suffering of animals — by fair means or fowl. They’re just not very good at it. Amateur baker Hannah’s attempts to fund her boyfriend’s cult by selling her produce start off well, and her artisan bread rolls made from organic flour are soon in demand. The only problem is that Hannah’s kitchen in Hill Top Farm will need to pass a Food Standards Agency inspection or be closed down. What will happen when Emily returns to Hill Top Farm? Will Hannah’s kitchen pass the food inspection? Or can Emily discover what’s really in the flour? The sequel to The Butcher , and Book 2 in the British Rub-a-Dub-Dub trilogy, this dark comedy about flour power will make you think twice about having a bacon sandwich ever again. "I love Burrow's slightly dark, tongue-in-cheek humour (no one does it like the Brits!). As with The Butcher, I found myself smirking and chuckling and just generally having a good time." Kindle Customer "Absolutely loved this! A great follow-on to The Butcher with characters that we knew from the first book and characters we read about in the background in the foreground in this book. Some laugh out loud moments!" Nicola, UK Kindle Customer "Fantastic follow up to "The Butcher", although it can be read independently. Nathan Burrows manages to keep the reader's attention with intrigue & humour throughout." Diane, UK Kindle Customer "I really enjoyed the British humor, the crazy characters, the twists of story that made me laugh. A very fun read. Such a nice break from the very serious terrorists stories. Find the quaint towns, the english countryside, and quirky bad guys for a change of pace."
