Author Notes may contain spoilers!

Custard Cream Conspiracy started with two ideas, a stolen vintage cookbook and the discovery of a time capsule.

Both together would introduce a cold case and had to be used together to solve it.

I had a lot of fun researching vintage cookbooks, who collects them, how valuable they are, and the unique features of community recipe books during the time referenced.

I found recipes for mock apple pie (made without apples), carrot cookies, meatless meatloaf, scrap pudding, war cakes, and other recipes that were invented by those who had to cook with wartime rationing. I found recipes and descriptions of things you may never have heard of before like salmagundi, jugged hare, posset, jumbles, and potted cheese.

And, of course, I learned about Custard Creams!

“Every single one of [P.D. Workman’s] books has spoken to me … And I have found strength in the books I’ve read.”

“This is one author I certainly will be looking out for, I can’t recommend her enough.”

“I’ll read anything by P. D. Workman that I can get my hands on.”

“Every book by PD Workman that I’ve read has been a gripping one, however different the genres are, going from lighter mysteries to really dark ones… this is one of my favourite, most dependable authors.”

“P.D. Workman is an incredibly versatile writer. No matter which of her books I read I am drawn into a great story and honestly, I don’t think I’ve followed another author that could go from cozy mystery to YA to a PI series dealing with mental health issues. Really enjoy her books!”

“[P.D. Workman’s] stories are so believable and you can’t help but feel like you know these people. You find yourself crying, laughing and feeling the characters emotions. Now if an author can make you cry and feel every emotion in a story, she is one hell of an author.”

“P. D. Workman, does not shy from probing the deep psychological scars of childhood trauma, mental illness, and addiction. Also characteristic of this author, these extremely sensitive issues are explored with extensive empathy, described with incredible clarity, and portrayed with profound insight.”

“Once again P.D.Workman has created an intense psychological mystery that impacts a wallop of thought induction. The writing is so well developed and draws you into the characters story.”
