Description

Murderous scones, meddling village grannies, and a kitty with a talent for mischief... Gemma ditches her corporate job to return to Oxford and open a traditional English tearoom, only to discover that life in an English village has never been so deliciously deadly!

When an American tourist is murdered with one of her signature scones, Gemma finds herself turning amateur sleuth to save her fledgling business. Things get even stickier when the handsome CID detective leading the case turns out to be her old college flame -- much to the horror of her bossy, matchmaking mother, who's been busy cooking up a "more suitable" match of her own.

Now, with the help of the meddling "Old Biddies" -- a group of nosy village octogenarians who fancy themselves as modern-day Miss Marples -- Gemma must sort through a fresh batch of suspects and red herrings. Meanwhile, one cheeky tabby cat is determined to mix murder with mischief and mayhem of her own!

Drawing on her Oxford alumni connections, Gemma soon uncovers buried secrets in the university's past... but with the body count rising and her tearoom going bust, can shecatch the killer before her future turns to custard?

With a nod to the classic whodunits of Agatha Christie, A Scone to Die For is a charming British culinary cozy mystery, set in historic Oxford and the beautiful English Cotswolds villages - with humour, twists & dash of romance! Perfect for fans of Agatha Raisin, and TV shows like Midsomer Murders and Inspector Morse.
