Tea & Treachery is the first book in the Tea by the Sea Mysteries series. The series follows Lily Roberts, proprietor and head pastry chef of Tea by the Sea, and her sassy grandmother, Rose who runs the B&B next door. Their lives get complicated when Jack Ford, a real estate developer, heads to town with plans to rezone their land and build a golf course. Tempers rise when Ford is found dead on Rose’s property. The police think she has something to do with it, but Lily knows better and begins her own investigation into the case.
The Sherlock Holmes Bookshop Mystery series begins with Elementary, She Read. The story sees Gemma Doyle returning to West London to manage her Great Uncle Arthur’s Sherlock Holmes Bookshop and Emporium. The shop specializes in Sherlock Holmes canon and she’ll have a case of her own on her hands when she stumbles upon a dead body. Gemma will need to put her skills of deduction at work to clear her name, but that same gumption will see her at the scene of a second murder which does nothing to prove her innocence in the eyes of the law.
