"I knew I should have listened when my mother said never talk to strangers..." ~ After eight years overseas, Gemma is giving up her corporate career and returning home to Oxford, with dreams of opening a quaint English tearoom serving warm buttery scones with jam and clotted cream, and fragrant tea in pretty bone china... But she soon finds that murder is the first thing on the menu, with herself as the key suspect! And the only people she can turn to for help are four nosy old ladies from her local Cotswolds village - not to mention a cheeky little tabby cat named Muesli. Who was the mysterious woman Gemma met on the flight back from Australia and why was she murdered? Now Gemma must find the killer, solve the mystery and clear her name if she's to have her cake--and serve it too...
