About this ebook

What happens when small-town murder meets a big-hearted café owner?

St. Eves is a town with real community spirit.

It's a town where residents leave their doors open from sunrise to sunset so that neighbours can pop in for a cup of tea and a chat. No one's ever too busy for a cup of tea and a chat in St Eves.

However, when a stranger is murdered, the residents of the small community close ranks--and their doors--as the hunt for a killer gathers pace.

Desperate for a return to carefree, small-town life, inquisitive café owner Charlotte Denver reluctantly becomes involved in the hunt, and uncovers a shocking plot that rocks the bustling coastal town to its core, and a twist in the tale that no one saw coming.

Small town murder was never so calculated...

Come and solve the mystery, and have a little fun along the way, with engaging characters, a little romance, and recipes to try for yourself. And you can settle back for a flinch-free read, because you won't find any strong language, graphic violence, sex or pesky cliffhangers!

The cozy side of things is reasonable, decent character work and setting. The mystery side is... rushed and forced. It's a shame. Perhaps it's the pacing, but the main character is pathologically uninvolved in the case until the very end, and then it becomes 'we know X, but we're not telling the reader!' in order to go for a big reveal instead. This would be a 3.5/5 but obviously the system doesn't allow that, especially due to (spoiler) 'let's wait 16 hrs to confront the killer rather than just going to get them right now'. That felt... Rough.

I was wanting more from this book...it was slow going, too many food descriptions, and characters that lacked personality. For a quick read it was difficult to finish.

About the author

Give me a cup of tea, a good book, and a comfortable chair, and I'm happy!

I grew up in the UK, never far away from an Enid Blyton or Roald Dahl book. These days, though, I live in Spain and read everything from women's fiction and romance to biographies and cookbooks to children's fiction and thrillers.

In 2015, I read my first cozy mystery and knew I'd found a genre I loved to read, and wanted to write in. At the time, that particular genre wasn't familiar to me although I soon found out that I'd loved 'Cozy Mysteries' for years, I just hadn't known that's what they were called!

When I'm not scribbling down ideas for new stories, or tapping away on my laptop, you'll most likely find me with my nose in a book, rustling up something experimental in the kitchen, or out with my rescue dog, George, who has me well and truly wrapped around his little paw.

I currently have two series; The Charlotte Denver Cozy Mystery Series and The Bliss Bay Village Mystery Series.
