A Storm in a Teacup

From the author of A Turn-Up for the Books: Third in the Elderwick Mystery series set in a sleepy village where the past refuses to stay buried—literally . . .

When an archaeology dig uncovers a skeleton, Dr. Laurel Nightingale finds herself drawn into another grisly mystery. The bones aren't ancient, and the police confirm a killer is on the loose.


Laurel, alongside her spirited best friend, Maggie, and history buff Albert, dives into the village's tangled web of secrets and lies.

Everyone has something to hide, and Laurel can't shake the feeling that danger is closing in.


Full of twists and turns and a cast of unforgettable characters, A Storm in a Teacup is a cozy mystery packed with intrigue and charm. Perfect for fans of Richard Osman, this story will keep you guessing until the final reveal.
