Holly Holmes is excited when a team of restorers starts working in the (allegedly) haunted east turret of Audley Castle, uncovering a beautiful ceiling painting. Unable to resist taking a look, she soon makes friends with the restorers. Well, some of them.
Bluebell Brewster is whip-smart, sharp-tongued, and takes no prisoners.
Then she’s found dead in the east turret, and her death takes a dark turn when evidence reveals this was no accident.
Holly is on the case, alongside the head of castle security, Campbell. All evidence points to the mild-mannered project supervisor, Herbert, but there’s something wrong with this picture. Murder is always messy, and Herbert doesn’t fit the mold.
Holly must hunt for clues and quiz suspects while dealing with an ankle injury and her best friend snubbing her.
Expect surprises, red herrings, delicious cake, and a killer who gets his (or her) just desserts. Plus, there’s a big surprise for Holly. Her life is about to change forever.
If you love fun cozy mysteries featuring delicious cake, quirky characters, and cute animals, Lemon Drizzle and Murder is perfect for you.
