A British Cozy Murder Mystery with A Female Sleuth A solstice sunrise reveals a mysterious death at Cotswold’s standing stones. Can a rural police officer illuminate the truth before darkness falls? Passionate and hard-working community cop and café owner, Sergeant Keya Varma, serves up lattes and law in equal measure. Yet her dedication to her dual duties is tested when a festive midsummer gathering turns deadly at an ancient ring of stones. Aided by her fellow officers, this dedicated detective delves into the puzzling demise of a vibrant young woman. With no apparent cause of death and the community united in grief, Keya wonders if the whispers of murder are only echoes of her own intuition? Tragedy strikes closer to home when Keya is suddenly stricken and rushed to hospital. As she battles her mysterious condition, can the doctors discover what is ailing her before she too becomes as cold as stone? Enjoy the spirit of midsummer, as Keya Varma summons up scrumptious dishes at her Waterwheel Café while keeping the Cotswold’s safe. If you like hard-working sleuths, a cast of colourful characters and a twist of romance, you’ll be entranced by Victoria Tait’s charming whodunit.

Hi, would you like to download Hour is Come, the FREE prequel to my Dotty Sayers Antique Mystery series? If so visit https://bookfunnel.victoriatait.com/s... or visit my website https://www.victoriatait.com I was born and raised in Yorkshire, England, and never expected to travel the world. I've drawn on my life’s experiences of following my military husband, and a love of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Murder She Wrote, to write British-based cozy mysteries. My determined and hard-working female sleuths are joined by colourful but realistic teams of helpers, and my settings are vivid and evocative. As you’re compelled to keep turning the pages, you’ll be irresistibly drawn into a world of intrigue, surprises, and humour, as well as a delectable helping of mystery, because tea and intrigue are a perfect blend.
