'My new favourite cosy crime series!' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ A DOLLOP OF JAM. A SPOT OF TEA. A SLICE OF MURDER . . . It has been a year since Tess had to trade the hustle and bustle of London life for pulling pints and moonlighting as a Cher impersonator in a backwater country pub. The sleepy Yorkshire village of Cherrywood would always be home, but a return to rural life wasn't quite the path she'd paved for herself. Still, being back with her oldest friends, Raven and Oliver, was a definite upside and she was beginning to settle into the slower pace. That is until Clemmie Ackroyd, a stalwart member of the community, is brutally murdered. Ruled a robbery gone wrong, it's an open-and-shut case for the police, but something isn't quite adding up for Tess. Then an unexpected face from the past shows up in the village, pointing fingers, and Tess finds herself resolving to get to the bottom of Clemmie's death - even if that means getting up to her neck in jam, Jerusalem and deadly secrets at the Women's Guild . . .

But as everyone gathers for the main event, Ade is found dead atop the bonfire with three mysterious tarot cards in his pocket, and barmaid and part-time sleuth Tess Feather suspects foul play.

A struggling black writer in Minneapolis summons a policeman, ties him to a chair and harangues him on what is wrong with white underwriting of minority artists. It's his way of explaining the presence of a dead philanthropist in his apartment.

"On December 17, 1992, Pamela and Kermode Jordan were brutally murdered in their lovely Colorado home. The following morning, the Jordan's fifteen-year-old son, Jacob Ind, confessed to the murders. "They beat me, they beat me and I couldn't take it any more." Was Jacob Ind a murderer? Was Jacob a victim? Or is he both? Come with me. Enter Jacob's world-a world where love means hate, where right and wrong are traps to be set by parents determined to raise "the perfect boys." A precocious child, Jacob learned from his two greatest teachers that problems are always solved through violence. And, via America's criminal justice system, the Jordan's lesson continues to be reinforced. Come with me. Enter Jacobs world. Discover, as I did, that there are many different kinds of murder." -Mary Ellen Johnson, author-
