The Biscuit Tin Murders 1
(2024)(The first book in the Cozy Culinary Cambridge Mystery series)
A novel by Menna van Praag
If there was one piece of advice Olive Crisp always followed, it was that “one should never attempt to solve a crime on an empty stomach..."
1970s. Cambridge, England.
A cosy community.
A mysterious murder at midnight.
A trail of cake crumbs...
When a student falls from the turrets of King’s College, Cambridge and the police rule his death as accidental, Olive consults her tarot cards - which confirm her suspicions of murder - and decides to take the investigation into her own hands. Fortunately, the college porter is a loyal customer of Olive’s cafe, The Biscuit Tin, and when she plies him with his favourite almond croissants and cups of Earl Grey, he reveals secrets about student societies and jealousies that might prove motive for murder. These clues lead Olive, and her two best friends, Blythe and Millie, to Newnham College where their suspicions are confirmed and the chief suspect discovered. With the clock ticking, will Olive be able to solve the mystery before the case is closed and the truth lost forever?
A charming cosy culinary crime series set in sleepy 1970s Cambridge, England, The Biscuit Tin Murders is a sweet recipe for a delightfully comforting read, containing far too many slices of cake, along with several servings of crime, plenty of sugar and just a sprinkling of magic...
The first book in The Biscuit Tin Murders series of cosy culinary mysteries. If you enjoy stories set in sleepy English towns with warmth, wit and whimsy as their main ingredients, along with twists that'll keep you guessing and subplots that'll make you smile, then you’ll love these delicious tales.
This and every book in the series can be read as a standalone, though you can also follow developing character storylines by reading the books in order. This is a humorous cosy mystery with a British female amateur detective in a small community. Written in British English. No graphic violence, sex or strong language. Just plenty of tea and cake!
