English Tea Murder

About the book

Lucy Stone is saying goodbye to Tinker's Cove and heading off to England! But when things take a turn for the worse, it seems that murder may have followed her all the way across the Atlantic...

With a hectic family life and her job as a reporter for the Pennysaver, Lucy is in need of a break. So when her friend Pam suggests a trip to England organized by Winchester College, she eagerly agrees to a girls' getaway. But when the tour leader, Professor George Temple, suddenly passes away mid-flight from an asthma attack, Lucy is grateful she brought her detective skills along...

While in London, Lucy and her friends try to shake off the jarring experience of their transatlantic flight by enjoying some retail therapy and searching for the perfect afternoon tea, visiting iconic locations like the Tower of London and the shores of Brighton. When Professor Quentin Rea, a charming man from Lucy's past, takes over as tour leader, she realizes that while his hairline may have receded, his flirtatious tendencies have not. She begins to notice suspicious behavior among the other members of the group, all of whom have connections to Professor Temple, leading her to suspect that his death was a carefully plotted act of revenge.

The truth seems as elusive as the ideal cup of tea, and it appears that anyone - or everyone - could be the perpetrator. But when another member of the tour group dies, Lucy finds herself entangled in a dangerous plot that could unveil a mastermind of murder - or make her the next victim...
