A village tea party. A poisoned teacup. A killer close to home.
When the sleepy village of Little Biddington gathers for its annual tea party at the vicarage, no one expects the festivities to end in murder. A body is discovered beneath the garden arbour, an overturned teacup the only clue to the victim’s final moments. Reluctant society hostess turned amateur sleuth, Lady Matilda Farnworth, sets out to sift through the unlikely suspects and uncover the clues to the murderer’s identity.
As she unearths hidden secrets, Matilda begins to suspect the whole village has something to hide. And someone will do anything to keep her from finding out the truth.
Will Lady Matilda’s quick wits and a keen eye for detail be enough to unmask the killer before more than just the tea goes cold?
A warm, witty return to the Lady Matilda Investigates series—continuing right where The Case of the Deadly Dog Show left off, with Hetty’s muddled charm and Wellington’s steady company along for the ride.
