It’s not easy to turn a blind eye, especially when her sweetheart is in the clutches of that cougar, Miss Poppy.
But the cafe’s reputation is at stake as is £300 she cannot afford to lose.
Will Clarence ignore her friend Daisy’s sound advice and plunge into the mysterious background of the murdered girl, or will she rescue John from the clutches of that conniving woman?
If you like cozy mysteries with quirky characters then this little caper will not disappoint!
Hi, I love reading, writing and creating interesting characters from out of the blue. I started writing as a hobby but when I wrote short stories and my friends loved it, I took the plunge into writing cozy murder mysteries. I am inspired by Agatha Christie- the queen of mysteries. My other favorite authors are Rohinton Mistry, R.K. Narayan, Somerset Maugham, John Steinbeck and Daphne Du Maurier. There are many others that I would like to add along with the brand new rising star of The Henna Artist- Alka Joshi. I am a retired Special Education teacher and presently reside in Milton, Ontario, Canada. I moved to Milton after my husband passed away from cancer. To ward off loneliness, I have started writing and spend many hours on my balcony plotting out sinister characters and amateur sleuths. I love in English cottages, roses, lilacs, peach tarts, dogs and cats. My list can get very long, so I will stop here. I would be delighted if your read my books and leave helpful suggestions through reviews.
