A Scone To Die For.

One of my goals this year is to add a new genre of books to my reading world.  I enjoy reading a variety of fiction and non-fiction especially when it comes to memoirs, interior/architectural design and history books. This year I added the cozy mystery genre to my fiction palette.  There are so many cozy mysteries to choose from.

A Scone To Die For is the first book in the Oxford Tearoom Mystery series authored by H.Y. Hanna.

Gemma Rose, the main character, is a 29-year-old University graduate who worked at an executive level position in Sydney, Australia for eight years. She was disappointed in that endeavor, so she returned to the Cotswold area to pursue her dream of owning/operating a tearoom. 

This story is a quintessential cozy mystery that you can easily curl up with while enjoying a cup of tea, coffee or a glass of wine. It's a compelling mystery rich in lively characters especially the three elderly sleuths who along with Gemma try to solve the story's murder mystery. The Three Biddies as they are known in the book provide moments of laughter and mingle beautifully with the postcard picturesque descriptions of the charming Oxfordshire countryside and villages. The suspense and mystery details relating to the various murders will keep you engaged to the very end.  

                                                                 I highly recommend this book. If you are already a cozy mystery reader, then this is a must read. You will love it.
