Hot tea, whispered secrets, and a murder that has the whole village wondering who they can trust.
Josephine Josie Fairleigh left London behind to run her late aunt's tea room in a sleepy Cotswolds village, and in eighteen months she's turned Bluebell Tea Room into the beating heart of Meadowbrook Hollow. But when the village's sharpest-tongued gossip is found dead among Josie's own bluebells, hours after a public quarrel over Josie's finances, the whole village decides they already know who did it.
With a corgi named Toffee at her heels and a county detective who isn't quite sure whether to arrest her or trust her, Josie has one chance to clear her name: find out which of her neighbors had a secret worth killing to protect. A solicitor with debts he can't explain. A florist guarding a thirty-year-old heartbreak. A shopkeeper who resents her success just a little too much. In a village this small, everyone has something to hide, and somebody has already proven they'll do anything to keep it buried.
Set in 1920s England, this cozy mystery series follows an amateur sleuth with a loyal dog, a slow-burn romance, and a knack for uncovering secrets. Each fair-play mystery is filled with carefully placed clues, village gossip, and plenty of tea along the way.
If you love British village mystery series with heart, humor, and a clever twist, pull up a chair in Meadowbrook Hollow. Read The Mystery of Bluebell Tea Room.
