A Scone To Die For (Oxford Tearoom Mysteries ~ Book 1‪)‬

"They say you have to make sacrifices to follow your dreams. I just didn't expect the sacrifices to involve an American tourist and a killer scone." ~ Gemma ditches her high-flying job and returns to Oxford to pursue her dream of opening a traditional English tearoom. It means moving back in with her parents and coping with her bossy, matchmaking mother, but she's sure it'll all be worth it. In fact, business is already booming… that is, until an American tourist is found dead in her teas hop, killed by one of her signature scones!

Now Gemma is apron-deep in a murder mystery with unexpected links to Oxford University and her own past as a student there. And the situation only gets stickier when the handsome CID detective leading the case turns out to be her old college flame! With the meddling "Old Biddies" from the local village poking their noses into everything, and her cheeky cat causing chaos in the kitchen, Gemma is beginning to find herself in a real jam. After all, murder is bad for business, especially when customers start thinking your scones are more deadly than delicious...

With the body count rising and her tearoom going bust, can Gemma find the killer before her future turns to custard? Find out in this hilarious British cozy mystery filled with quirky characters, unexpected twists and a cat with a big personality. With a nod to the classic whodunits of Agatha Christie, this book is a treat you won't want to miss!
