Cream teas, buttered crumpets and a very curious crime. Melissa Craig is settling in nicely to a new teaching position in the quaint little village of Upper Bembury, getting to know her way around, drinking tea with the eccentric staff, even sewing the first seeds of romance. But when she arrives one morning to find police outside her classroom, Melissa is shocked to hear that her beautiful colleague Angelica has been found dead in her home. As everyone in Angelica's life comes under suspicion, Melissa makes it her mission to go in search of the truth, not least because she's romantically entangled with none other than the police's prime suspect. The discovery of a vandalised portrait of the murdered girl might be just the clue that Melissa needs to clear her lover's name, but when a second body surfaces, she knows she needs to act quickly. 264pp, paperback.
