Lucy Stone is saying cheerio to Tinker’s Cove and jetting
off to jolly old England! But when things get dodgy, it
appears murder may have followed her across the Atlantic...
Between a busy family and her duties as a reporter for the
Pennysaver, Lucy could use a break. So when her friend Pam
tells her about a trip to England sponsored by Winchester
College, she jumps at the chance for a girls getaway. But
when tour leader Professor George Temple dies mid-flight
after suffering an asthma attack, Lucy’s glad she packed her
sleuthing skills...
In London, Lucy and her pals try to forget their harrowing
journey across the pond by indulging in some retail therapy
and searching for the perfect afternoon tea, from the Tower
of London to the shores of Brighton. Professor Quentin Rea,
a ladies’ man and former flirt of Lucy’s, arrives to take
over the tour, and she finds that while his hairline may
have receded, his amorous intentions have not. She also
begins to notice the peculiar behavior of other members of
the tour group. And when she discovers that all of them have
pasts connected to Professor Temple, she suspects that his
death was an elaborate act of revenge.
The truth is as elusive as the perfect cup of tea, and it
seems that anyone-or everyone-could be the culprit. But when
another tour member dies Lucy is suddenly ensnared in a
daring scheme that could lead her to a mastermind of
murder-or make her the next victim...
