In a quiet seaside town, kindness and suspicion walk hand in hand.
In the quiet seaside town of Morecambe, The Velvet Crumb café is a sanctuary of warmth, tea, and toasted teacakes. But beneath the cinnamon-scented air lies a secret. Miriam keeps a journal, not of recipes, but of names, regulars whose visits end with more than a cuppa.
When Inspector Harmony Freeman transfers from London, she expects small-town cases and silence by the sea. Instead, she inherits a case file called elderly deaths. She begins to find a pattern. The elderly deaths, all peaceful, all too regular, and all with one common thread, Miriam. Is Miriam simply a kind woman who listens well, or is she quietly orchestrating something far darker?
With the tide turning and choices pressing, A Slice of Mercy asks: when does compassion end, and when does mercy become something else entirely? Every path seems to circle back to the café, and to Miriam. But is Miriam a guardian offering mercy to those ready to let go or something far darker.
