Deceased Before Tea: Thoroughly Inconvenient Deaths

By Dorcas Finch

A delightfully wicked British cozy mystery perfect for fans of Richard Osman and M.C. Beaton.

Welcome to the shires, where the rolling green hills are beautiful, the thatched cottages are picture perfect, and the local body count is outrageously high.

For readers who love a traditional English village mystery packed with dry British humor, this classic whodunit introduces a world where a peaceful afternoon tea is a rare luxury. Beneath the pristine surface of parish gardens and highly competitive village fetes lies a community with an astonishing knack for stumbling over corpses.

When secrets begin to unravel right before the kettle boils, it takes a sharp amateur sleuth to untangle the mess. From toxic plants in the back border to highly suspicious activities behind the vestry, everyone is a suspect and everyone is gossiping.

If you enjoy funny cozy mysteries with eccentric characters, clever puzzles, and a dapper touch of small town scandal, this series starter will keep you guessing until the very last page.
