Who Lit the Whistling Kettle

By Marilyn Leach

Description:

Something’s burning at Tibbyhill Lane Teashop and it’s not the scones.

Poppy Ellis has exchanged London urban grind for a rural waterside teashop. But her kettle’s not the only thing firing up and her two spirited aunts keep the heat on high.
When a boat docked outside Poppy’s back door bursts into flames on opening day, a loved one is fingered by the police as the arsonist. Handsome solicitor, Andrew St John, steps in to assist and village gossip explodes. Poppy’s determined sense of justice steams into action.
Things get even hotter: a dead body is found nearby in the canal. Despite her urban insights regularly bumping heads with rural sensibilities, she cooks up a plan to catch the culprit. But will she…and her teashop…survive it all?
Colorful village characters, a feisty cat, one legal ‘stuffed shirt’, an unexpected guest, and the village vicar’s wife, Poppy’s best friend, all serve up a cupful of tasty whodunit.

Book Takeaway:

Good triumphs over evil. Set your mind to doing good and by Divine help, accomplish it.

Why the author wrote this book:

My many travels in England were rich fodder for this book. Both my friends in England and my writing mentor encouraged me to write a teashop mystery. I loved the idea, prayed about it, had great fun writing it, and here it is.
