A new tearoom has opened at the garden centre on the outskirts of Merrywell which looks very nice, unless, of course, you are the owner of a popular café and coffee shop in the center of Merrywell itself. Violet Brewster finds herself trying out the new eatery because her best friend Fiona needs to check up on the competition! When she discovers a dead body by the water features the following morning Violet is determined to keep away from the investigation but somehow she just can't help herself, especially when someone close to her emerges as the prime suspect! 

Book four in this cosy series was a good read. There was plenty going on and the unpopularity of the victim meant there was no shortage of suspects to work through! Violet is fun main protagonist and I look forward to returning to Merrywell again soon.

I was able to read an advanced copy of this thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, HQ Digital, but the opinions expressed are my own. This is another good addition to this series which has definitely found its feet now.

Fabulous instalment of the murder mysteries Violet Brewster manages to get herself mixed up in. Cosy by nature and intriguing entirely this series is a joy to read. I can’t wait for the next one! The murderer kept me guessing right until the end which for me is the sign of a great mystery read.

Thanks Netgalley

A very gentle but enjoyable cosy murder mystery. Violet has got her sleuthing hat on again trying to find out who murdered Hilary at the garden centre, a very lovely read

Tearoom Fatality..
The fourth outing in the Violet Brewster Mysteries finds our protagonist reluctantly amidst another criminal investigation when the owner of a new tearoom is discovered dead. It’s very clear to Violet that there many who opposed the new venture but she needs to deflect suspicion away from those closest to her to get to the truth of this particular mystery. Another enjoyable and entertaining instalment to this series with a likeable protagonist in Violet, a plot populated with a credible cast of characters and a well imagined setting.
