Lucy Stone’s hometown of Tinker’s Cove, Maine, is where her heart is. But traveling to merry old England brings delightful adventure—along with a helping or two or murder—in these beloved mysteries . . .
Synopsis:
ENGLISH TEA MURDER
A trip to England, sponsored by Winchester College, sounds practically perfect to Lucy Stone—until the tour leader suffers a fatal asthma attack mid-flight. Lucy suspects some very unnatural causes, but luckily, she packed her sleuthing skills. Between stops for afternoon tea, visits to historic sites, and catching up with an old flame, she’s ensnared in a daring scheme. But will it lead her to a criminal mastermind—or ensure that she’s the next victim?
BRITISH MANOR MURDER
Lucy can’t wait to join her friend Sue for a gala hat show at the English country house owned by the Earl of Wickham. But at Moreton Manor, there are secrets—and some unpleasant relatives—lurking among the elaborate chapeaus. When a bludgeoned body is found in a hidden room, Lucy must sift through friends and family foes to find the low-down killer stalking the upper crust, before more blue blood runs red . .
Review:
I've shared a previous book in the series (Candy Corner Murders) before with you, and I was thrilled to be able to get this double book, to get 2 books for the price of one! In the first book, the gang heads to England as part of a local university tour and literally has problems from moment one. What they don't realize, is that they'll end up in the middle of a murder mystery, with a very odd assortment of characters. A twisty mystery, it is my favorite of the Lucy series so far! During their time in England, the girls meet an Earl, and book 2 has them going back to England, to his estate.More than just a closed room mystery, this second Lucy mystery looks at appearances and how they can be deceiving. An interesting set, this set is a good intro the Lucy series, especially for those looking for reading to pass the mandated home time, and it on special this week!
