'If you’re looking for a cosy murder mystery then I 100% recommend this book.' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

In a quaint village in the Peak District, murder is brewing…

Violet Brewster is settling into the quiet life in Merrywell. The last thing she needs is to get mixed up in a police investigation…

When a snazzy tearoom opens at the local garden centre on Bluebell Hill, residents flock to visit the establishment. But not everyone is happy about the new business venture…

Matters escalate when the owner of the tearoom is found dead on the premises. As Violet unwittingly finds herself at the centre of another murder mystery, can she shift suspicion away from those closest to her and find the true culprit?
