Paranormal This was just a standard cozy for me The mystery was okay but the main character wasn t that likable For a woman who worked a high level corporate job for 8 years before buying the tearoom she seemed at time exceptionally immature There were some things that saved it a star in my rating The first is the old biddies they were great and way better investigators than the main character and worthy of their own series The other thing that saved the book was the lead detective was intelligent and called Gemma on her sh which usually not the norm For me though the best part was the narrator.

A scone to die fort translation Y Hanna and it was lots of fun Muesli the cute little cat was the star of the show and Gemma s tearooms looked like closing not long after opening After moving back to London from Australia and sinking all her money into her dream Gemma did what she had to do A great start to a new cozy mystery series which I recommend Mystery Humor and Comedy Paranormal When I got my first Kindle in 2007 I hated it I was already in my 40s and I hated the idea of not having something tactile to enjoy with my reading I could not physically turn a page I received a 10 gift card and after buying my first book 9. A scone to die forq quest 99 I think it was done My son showed me ways around paying so much Free books clubs to join writers to follow joining ARC reading groups Eventually I was grabbing so much stuff that I overloaded my Kindle Now I wind up getting rid of most of the books I read It is almost impossible to keep it all This is one of those books I picked up when I was picking up almost everything I could get my hands on I was happy that I kept this long enough to read it It is a quick paced British murder mystery I know that you probably do not believe that there is such a thing as quick paced and British but it is true I tell you with multiple wannabe armchair detectives multiple red herrings and a supposedly hunky dreamy constable Now Gemma on the other hound sounds pretty gosh darn hot but I mean that in the least objectionable way possible The murdered of course is an obnoxious American that deserves it as we all seem to be Still I love murder mysteries and this one is not half bad and pretty darn good Mystery Humor and Comedy it felt natural and realistic how Gemma got tangled up in the mystery and how she helped I also liked how the police and detectives seem mostly capable in this book even though Gemma solves the mystery in the end The mystery kept me guessing till the moment when Gemma solved the mystery The mystery was very intriguing and well written and I liked how there were also other secrets that got figured out and how those tied into the investigation. A scone to remember I liked Gemma as a main character and I could relate to her I am a small business owner as well and Gemma her struggles with her business and conversations with her mom felt very realistic I thought Gemma was a nice and likeable person she was smart enough to stay out of trouble and handled things well Although it did bother me a bit when later in the book she let her feelings of jealousy get in the way of things and she even wrongly accuses her ex of something. A scone to die for paranormal lyrics The side characters all play a role too We get a bit of a feel for most characters but not all of them play as a big a role I like did like how many of the characters had some kind of quirk like the group of old ladies who gossiped a lot and wanted in the investigation as well Gemma her best friend who liked to draw Fletcher who works in the kitchen but can t interact as well with people They all had something unique to make it easy to remember them by even though we don t learn as much about each of them those characteristics did make them recognizable. A scone to remember There is a bit of romance two potential love interest that get hinted at and there are scenes involving Gemma and her interactions with the men But as with most cozy mysteries it doesn t really take center stage It was mostly a set up of potential love interest in this book and hints to what might get in the next book I didn t really feel the romance yet but that might change I was curious what kind of past Gemma and her ex have and why they separated now that they meet again but we don t hear as much about their past as I hoped. A scone to die forq quotes I liked how this book was set in the UK I mostly have read cozy mysteries set in the US and the small cozy village close to Oxford made for a great setting I also liked how the author shared a bit about life at college and such in Oxford I could imagine how everything looked like well The tearoom made for a fun setting and job I always like it when there is a connection with food like that in a book Oh and Muesli the cat was adorable although I wish she played a bigger part but I do think we ll see of her in the next book. A scone to die forq quest To summarize I really enjoyed this book Its a fun and enjoyable cozy mystery with an intriguing mystery that kept me guessing till the end The mystery was handled well and it felt realistic how Gemma got involved and how the policy handled things I liked main character Gemma and could relate to her as I have my own business too Gemma was a likeable character although her jealousy and accusations when it came to her ex did bother me a bit There is a hint of romance and two potential love interest but not much yet in this book I liked the small town UK setting and the tearoom and the quirky characters All in all this was a great cozy mystery and I am looking forward to the rest of the books in this series Mystery Humor and Comedy Paranormal First in the Oxford Tearoom mystery series and the first Kindle book I ve read this is a light and fun cosy mystery This was free on Our heroine twenty nine year old Gemma Rose has returned home to Oxford giving up a corporate career in Sydney to start afresh her own tearoom in the village of Meadowford on Smythe where she grew up Her childhood friend Cassie is working with her and they ve hired a local Fletcher as their chef and he doesn t come to work without his cat Museli based on the author s own cat Its three months into her new venture and things are beginning to look up but one day an obnoxious American tourist turns up at the tearoom ruffling than a few feathers Dreading his reappearing the next day which he had hinted at Gemma goes to open up only to find his body in the outdoor area When the police arrive to investigate Gemma is surprised to the detective is her old boyfriend and first love Devlin O Connor Finding the investigation not going fast enough and her business suffering because of it she begins to look into the case herself. A scone to remember I really enjoyed this one I expected something light when I picked it up and it was that but the mystery element was a pleasant surprise with of a twist in fact twists than I thought there would be I enjoyed the descriptions of Oxford and University life which made the book a interesting read overall There are perhaps elements that might seem a bit chic lit I do enjoy some of those too as far as Gemma s romance s and her mother s matchmaking attempts are concerned but the book also has substance This was a great first Kindle book for me So glad I came across it Looking forward to of these and antics of Museli the cat Mystery Humor and Comedy Paranormal Man oh man this book was the quintessential cozy Loved the characters and laughed out loud several times First cozy that had me laughing during the climax scene when the killer was revealed and our main character was in danger The only tiny thing that bugged me was how open the police was telling her everything and discussing things with her Past history or not very unrealistic However that was my only complaint Got the second book on order already Mystery Humor and Comedy Paranormal I did not receive a free copy in exchange for an honest review I paid money for it to ensure a fair review. A scone to remember I didn t think this was going to be my cup of perfectly brewed Earl Grey tea and I was right I ll be honest this isn t usually the sort of thing I would try and read There s no violence no spaceships no killer clowns no zombies but I m trying to read different things in order to hit my reading goal for this year The reviews were good on that later and it was only a quid you can t get a good scone for a quid these days also it s jam then cream you savages I took an instant dislike to it I m afraid. A scone to remember In A Scone To Die For we join Gemma who has recently returned to Oxford after moving to Australia for a new job Things were going okay but she wasn t fulfilled so she decided to come back to Oxford and open a tearoom It s a reasonable success until the arrival of some American tourists one of whom is later found dead with a scone stuffed down his throat Gemma channeling Jessica Fletcher decides to lead her own investigation helped by the Old Biddies a group of nosy scone eating busybodies and there s mild peril and stuff happens and at the end the killer is exactly who I thought it was although fair play not why I thought If this were a film it d be a PG and shown on one of those cheap film channels at the backend of the Sky EPG It s mostly harmless. A scone to remember Right from the start I kinda hated it The main character is a whiny self pitying bore who stands by and watches her friend get sexually assaulted in the third chapter After barely telling him off the guy continues to lech after her and instead of barring the guy and telling him to fuck right off our Gemma serves him and even lets him back the next day This immediately set off alarm bells for me and it was mostly downhill for the character. A scone to die fors song lyrics The lead investigator of the murder ends up being her ex and she spends most of the book acting like a child She was just really unlikable and I m honestly baffled by the praise for her and the other characters The Old Biddies are almost funny with a scene involving Muesli the cat and a dining table providing the book s only amusing moment. A scone to die for kindle free download In the book s defense the mystery is mostly logical albeit super dull However the reveal of the killer is pretty cheesy and convenient featuring an unintentionally hilarious reason for trying to murder our brave dull heroine There are at least 8 lines of dialogue where a character tells someone usually the gormless Gemma that they re not just some characters in a mystery novel you know The third time it happened I rolled my eyes the 7th and 8th times both on the same bloody page made me want to throw my Kindle out the window It s a shit clich that a good author can get away with using once maybe but to use it so many times is just proof of shoddy editing There s also an interminable section where the author describes in great detail how to make a scone. A scone to die for pdf download Sorry I wanted to like this I liked the title but it s just not very good Most of the beaming reviews seem to be from people who have received a copy of the book for free in exchange for an honest review This seems as dodgy as one of Gemma s scones I m not sure how someone can be honest when they re on friendly terms with a publisher giving them free stuff The lack of reviews from actual paying customers is telling The book is only 99p and it was a very breezy if not enjoyable read It s not as quaint charming or funny as the blurb and reviews insist it is so I d recommend saving your money and buying a four pack of scones from Tesco they re actually a pound and will be much easier to digest Mystery Humor and Comedy Paranormal This is the first book I ve read by this author and I absolutely loved it Gemma is such a likeable and believable character that I think other readers will enjoy this story. A scone to remember When Gemma returns to her hometown of Meadowford on Smythe to open a tea shop her biggest fear is living in her parents home once again While her mother is busy finding Gemma a new beau Gemma is busy trying to boost her new shop When an obnoxious American is found dead all eyes and gossip turns to poor Gemma If that s not bad enough the lead detective is none other than her first love Gemma will do anything to save her shop so if that means doing some sleuthing she is ready to go I had no idea who the murderer was and was left my jaw hanging in disbelief when all was revealed My favorite part of the story was when Gemma s mother kept forgetting her iPad password lol I am looking forward to reading in this series.
