Mystery Cozy
Murder is afoot is the sedate English city of Royal
Tunbridge Wells … and the crime may be brewing in a tea pot! Nigel Owen is having a rotten year. Downsized from a cushy
management job at an insurance company in London, he is
forced to accept a temporary post as managing director of
the Royal Tunbridge Wells Tea Museum. Alas, he regrets
living in a small city in Kent, he prefers drinking coffee
(with a vengeance), and he roundly dislikes Flick Adams,
PhD, an American scientist recently named the museum’s curator. But then, the wildly unexpected happens. Dame Elspeth
Hawker, the museum’s chief benefactor, keels over a board
meeting—the apparent victim of a fatal heart attack. With
the Dame’s demise, the museum’s world-famous collection is
up for grabs, her cats, dog, and parrot are living at with
Flick and Nigel—and the two prima donnas find themselves
facing professional ruin. But Flick—who knows a thing or two about forensic science—is
convinced that Dame Elspeth did not die a natural death. As
Flick and Nigel follow the clues—including a cryptic
Biblical citation—they discover that a crime perpetrated
more than a century ago sowed the seeds for a contemporary
murder.
