Publisher's summary

Introducing the three unlikeliest sleuths you'll ever meet....

Every Thursday, three retired school teachers have their ‘coffee o’clock’ sessions at the Thirsk Garden Centre café.

But one fateful week, as they are catching up with a slice of cake, they bump into their ex-colleague, Topsy.

By the next Thursday, Topsy’s dead.

The last thing Liz, Thelma and Pat imagined was that they would become involved in a murder.

But they know there’s more to Topsy’s death than meets the eye—and it’s down to them to prove it....

Sit down with a cup of tea and this perfectly witty cosy crime novel. Fans of Agatha Christie, Death in Paradise and Midsomer Murders will be hooked from the very start.

Too sad for me

I'm sure this is a well written cozy mystery but the story matter is too sad for me. I couldn't finish it.

Narration not great

Story was ok, but the narration made it confusing as to who was who. I think at one point she called a character the wrong name.

My absolute favorite new author!

This is hands-down one of the best amateur sleuth mysteries I’ve ever read. I adore the characters and the plot lines are phenomenal. Just finished this one and rushing right to the second book!
