Murderous scones, meddling Old Biddies, and a feline with a talent for mischief… life in an Oxford tearoom has never been so deliciously deadly!
When Gemma gives up a corporate career to open a quaint English tearoom in Oxford, the last thing she expects is to find an American tourist murdered with one of her scones! Now she’s apron-deep in a mystery linked to Oxford University and her own student past, and things get even stickier when the CID detective leading the case turns out to be her old college flame. Add in the meddling “Old Biddies” from the local village and a mischievous feline called Muesli causing chaos at her tearoom… can Gemma find the killer before her future turns to custard?
With a nod to the classic whodunits of Agatha Christie, this British cozy mystery filled with quirky characters and intriguing twists is a charming and delightful read.
A Scone to Die For is the delectable first book in the Oxford Tearoom Mysteries, H.Y. Hanna’s bestselling culinary cozy mystery series.
Reviews
"I absolutely loved this book! This is one of, if not THE, best cozy mystery I have read. The descriptions of places and people are fantastic. As I read the story I could picture being there, sitting in the tearoom, or in the University. The characters are developed really well. The relationships are explored and explained... characters aren't popping in for the sake of needing a character."
"The characters in this story were fabulous...the author has a wonderful descriptive writing style that hook there reader from the start and will have you turning pages until the surprising conclusion. I will definitely be making a return visit to Gemma's tea room."
"A delightfully clever British cozy mystery set against the fascinating backdrop of Oxford"
