It’s the height of summer in Plumpton Mallet, and Lilly has been asked to host her very first event: a tea demonstration for the local book club. The guest list sparkles with the town’s elite – a titled aristocrat, a wealthy heiress, and plenty of polite rivalries simmering beneath the surface.
When the heiress is found dead before the evening is out, tension turns to panic. As a prime witness, Lilly is drawn into the investigation and soon discovers that everyone had something to hide. With secrets steeping and motives bubbling over, she must separate truth from gossip before the killer strikes again.
A Sip of Suspicion is the second novel in J. New’s delightful The Tea Leaf Mysteries – perfect for fans of charming British whodunits, red herrings and a perfectly brewed cup of tea.
This title was previously published as A Deadly Solution by J. New.
