Book Synopsis

When an American tourist is murdered with a scone in her quaint English tearoom, Gemma must solve the mystery with the help of the nosy Old Biddies and a mischievous little tabby cat named Muesli.

Armed with her insider knowledge of Oxford University, she sets out to investigate and finds herself apron-deep in a case involving long-buried secrets from the past. But between her bossy, matchmaking mother and the return of her old college flame as the handsome CID detective leading the investigation, Gemma soon has her hands full and her head spinning... and that's before her tearoom ends up in the papers for all the wrong reasons!

Murder is bad for business, especially when customers think your scones are more deadly than delicious. With the body count rising and her tearoom going bust, can Gemma find the killer before things turn to custard?

Review Quotes

"Scones, a tea shop in England, a kitty & a murder - yes, please!"

"A perfectly-baked recipe of murder mystery! A gripping tale from start to finish - I couldn't put it down! With well-developed characters, and lots of twists & turns, the reader is kept guessing until the end. If you like a murder thriller in all its gory detail, this is perhaps not for you, but if you are looking for a gentle story of murder, mystery and intrigue, with some real human touches, then this is highly recommended."

"Absolutely fabulous with a cup of tea!"

"Getting back to your perfect British mystery. A cross between Midsomer Murder and Morse in the style of the easy going writing of Caroline Graham with the Oxford setting used by Colin Dexter."
