When an American tourist is murdered with a scone in Gemma Rose’s quaint Oxfordshire tearoom, she suddenly finds herself apron-deep in a mystery involving long-buried secrets from Oxford’s past.Armed with her insider knowledge of the University and with the help of four nosy old ladies from the village (not to mention a cheeky little tabby cat named Muesli), Gemma sets out to solve the … mystery–all while dealing with her matchmaking mother and the return of her old college love, Devlin O’Connor, now a dashing CID detective.
But with the body count rising and her business going bust, can Gemma find the killer before things turn to custard?

This is just a fun wonderful book to read.
Quite an entertaining spy novel & easy read
It was an interesting, good story.
This woman needs to take her shop in hand and stop letting her mother make horrible decisions.
Emma is a likeable character with quick thinking mind, sometimes overthinking, which makes her more likeable yet. Cute, cozy little story, but I wasn’t crazy a bout the “choking on a scone” idea. I like scones too much for that take.
I really love all the books by this author
Easy, fluffy read. For the beach or when you are very tired.
A nice light read. It kept me guessing.
Very light, pleasant reading if you are too tired for a book that requires more attention.
