A fun new mystery series created by H.Y. Hanna. This looks like it will be a fun new light hearted series. The best part is the recipes. In the first book of course it is a scone recipe. Even though the murder weapon appears to be a scone that is no reason not to eat them.
The story unfolds in the tea shop that Gemma Rose comes home to open. The quaint English village of Meadowbrook seems to be the perfect place for the little restaurant until an American tourist is found dead the courtyard behind the cafe. Gemma has given up a prestigious career to follow her dream. She explains , “So I made probably the first impulsive decision in my life: I sold my swanky penthouse apartment in Sydney, bought the Little Stables Tearoom, packed my things, and came home”
As she and her best friend, Cassie, start to build the business the murder threatens to close down the cafe for good. So Gemma decides it is in her best interest to solve the murder herself. When Inspector Devlin O'Connor comes back to town to join the Police department, he is assigned to solve this case. The old romantic feelings that Gemma thought she had buried for good start to reemerge. As this series continues it seems the love interest will develop. As Gemma leads the police to the killer, it is a race against time so that the Little Stables Tearoom can be reopened before it loses so much business it will have to close forever.
I do hope there will more and more recipes in each book as the series progresses.
