Murder (and Other Unpleasantries)

The Castle & Crumpet Mystery Series: Book 1

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

A most unfortunate afternoon tea.

When baker Tamsin Castle encounters eccentric detective Clarence Crumpet and his dachshund, Fritz, a routine delivery becomes a full-on inquiry into the death of the infamous Lady Atherton, who has just taken tea with scones, jam, and a wee touch of cyanide.

Anyone for a spot of murder?

Stuck on a Cornish island with a chatty detective, several dodgy aristocrats, and no way home, Tamsin must abandon a lifetime of restraint to help Crumpet investigate a murder (and other assorted unpleasantries) before the killer can escape.

Perfect for readers who love classic British mysteries, twisty whodunits, and quirky detectives.
