Description

"Nobody likes going to a funeral—especially when the person being buried isn't the only dead body." Business is going well at Gemma Rose's quaint English teashop and she's delighted about her first big catering job at a local village funeral… until the day ends with a second body and one of the Old Biddies accused of murder!

Now the resourceful tearoom sleuth must find out which delicious pudding contained the deadly arsenic—and who might have wanted the wealthy widow dead… But Gemma has other troubles to contend with, from her naughty cat, Muesli, running loose in her tearoom to an unexpected hedgehog guest in her home—and that's before the all-important "meet the parents" dinner with her handsome detective boyfriend turns into a total disaster!

With so many things on her plate, can Gemma solve the mystery in time to catch the murderer or will she come to a sticky end? (* Sticky Toffee Pudding recipe at the end of the story!)
