Murder Blooms at the Fair

Spring is blooming in Little Firling, and the village garden fair is in full swing - bunting flaps, jam is fiercely judged, and flowers compete for botanical glory.

Retired literature professor Annabel Lennox Deighton is content to show off her herb patch and avoid small talk - until a beloved village doctor collapses at the tea stall, cup in hand and secrets behind him.

With her fiercely intelligent (and slightly psychic) Bombay cat, Persephone, and sharp-eyed best friend Evie Barnes, Annabel finds herself drawn into a tangle of misdiagnoses, misplaced trust, and one very suspicious thermos.

As the trio digs into the doctor's past - from garden gates to pub gossip - they discover that in Little Firling, even herbal tea can be deadly. Poison is blooming, the clues are buried, and someone is pruning the truth.

Featuring:
A cat who judges everyone (and is always right)Village secrets with deep rootsAn herb garden of suspicious intentionAnd murder hidden in the chamomile
Perfect for fans of classic cozy mysteries with modern charm, this second installment in the Little Firling Mystery series continues the twisty adventures of Annabel and Persephone - where secrets grow like weeds, and nothing is ever just a cup of tea.
