The Biscuit Tin Murders 3
(2024)(The third 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 lizard, a monkey and a murder.
And a trail of cake crumbs...
When a tyrannical businessman is murdered Olive discovers that half of Cambridge wanted him dead. And finding which one actually killed him is like trying to find a poisonous needle in a murderous haystack. Events take a turn for the bizarre when the victim’s son begs Olive to rescue his kidnapped lizard. Are the two crimes connected? As Olive delves deeper into the case, discovering just how monstrous the victim was, she questions whether or not she wants to solve it at all. Meanwhile, Hugo is falling in love with her and Olive is struggling with her own deepening feelings and her fears of loving him back…
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 third 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!
