Once again H.Y. Hanna captured my attention with her clever fun amateur detective. Gemma and the Old Biddies are at it again, solving a murder the police do not seem interested in.
This time instead of staying in Oxford and solving the murder while serving delicious scones at her Tea Shop, Gemma is off to Vienna to accept an award for her scone recipe. The Old Biddies surprisingly show up at the hotel for a vacation at the same time and the detecting begins when a dead body is discovered in the hotel also. Gemma has to call home for assistance from her boyfriend, the police detective, who had to stay behind and solve another crime.
Gemma and the Old Biddies are great giving the readers a wonderful description of the city sights to see and the scrumptious food one should taste while visiting the country of Austria. Once I picked up the book I did not put it down until I had finished it.
It is always a fun break from all the hard work we do to sit down and enjoy a simple mystery, with characters you remember, like old friends, who keep coming back to share an experience they had with you.
