Description

A garden fair, a poisoned brew, and secrets hiding in the camomile...

Spring has arrived in Little Firling, and with it, the village's beloved garden fair—where bunting flutters, jam is judged with ruthless precision, and retired literature teacher Annabel Lennox Deighton hopes to win Best Herb Patch without engaging in too much gossip.

But when a respected village doctor drops dead at the tea stall—herbal brew still warm in hand—Annabel is reluctantly drawn into another murder. With her brilliant and opinionated Bombay cat Persephone and her loyal friend Evie Barnes, Annabel begins digging through secrets buried deeper than any rose root.

From whispered diagnoses and wilted reputations to a mysterious thermos no one wants to claim, this case leads them through the village's flower beds, back alleys, and tangled past.

In Little Firling, even a cup of tea can kill.

Featuring:

A cat who judges everyone (and is always right) Garden gossip, secret herbs, and suspicious tea Murder hidden beneath blooming flowers Clues that grow more tangled by the day

Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Richard Osman, and anyone who believes the quietest villages grow the darkest secrets.
