Deathbed of Roses — Katherine Hayton

When a hotel manager's dead body closes the main road to Willow's new tea shop, none of her customers can get through to celebrate her opening day. On a mission to investigate the closure, she instead becomes embroiled in the case.

But Willow isn't the only person to raise the local sheriff's suspicions. There's the janitor last seen fighting with the manager as he handed in his resignation. Not to mention a pair of teenage boys who might have taken a prank too far.

If the investigation can't gather enough evidence to remove the body, then Willow's tea shop might never get off the ground. Even with kitten Mavis as a drawcard, there are some disasters that a widow can't claw her way back from.

Tea Shop Cozy Mysteries are quick 1-2 hour reads perfect for filling in time waiting for appointments, commuting to work, or when your significant other insists on watching the show that makes you roll your eyes!
