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?

Really enjoyed this delightful book. Easy to read, great characters, good story with a solution I didn’t anticipate. Gemma is enjoyable character.
This was a light, entertaining book. I enjoyed it and I like the characters that are portrayed.
Loved the setting and the characters. Good and cozy.
This is the second book I read in this series. Both were very entertaining. If you like a cozy murder mystery this is a good fit.
Quick read and a good mystery!
It was an easy read, and it was clean. I appreciate having to not have to skip ahead through the seemingly necessary sex scene you find in most books.
This is a heroine who knows what she wants, and goes for it all without permission from the “love interest”.
Not deep but fun. This is a series.
Well written, kept my interest throughout, didn’t want to put it down.
good escape reading
Cute and fun!
A fun book to read and left me guessing right to the end.
A break page Turner. Good read, original story.
Easy read. Kept you on your toes for awhile.
I enjoyed it took my mind off my problems
Very easy read, but predictable…characters fairly well described, but pretty superficial.
Waste of time, and absolutely last book which I will read that adorably speaks of a cat!
a fairly good read
Enjoyed the plot. Romance in the offing, without gratuituos sex. Interesting setting, surprise ending. A good read.
Great ” Who-Done-It Historic locations and fun characters.
I usually skip the “cozy mystery” category, but this one caught my eye. Well worth it. Truly enjoyed it!!
