This book had just the right amount of intrigue and relationships . . . who WAS the main character going to be more interested in?

Enjoyed the read, there were suspects galore, and you weren’t sure who it was up until the very end. I had my suspicions but I had my doubts. Enjoyed it and would recommend.

A taste of the English countryside in a teapot. The characters are a hoot, particularly the elder foursome who know everyone and everything, or are happy to engage in B&E to find out.

Gemma Rose is not thrilled about the art exhibition, but friends will do almost anything for a friend. BFF Cassie Jenkins is having her first exhibition courtesy of John Kelsey, gallery owner and new boyfriend. Gemma isn’t a fan of much of the art, and definitely not a fan of Cassie’s new boyfriend. Her opinion of him seems validated when she thinks she overhears him plotting in the shadows, and a self-proclaimed girlfriend shows up causing a scene and dampening the festivities for Cassie. The event is further damaged when Sarah starts flailing, fighting for air, collapsing on the ground…dead. Gemma rushes to her side smelling a curious scent of ‘bitter almonds.’ Nothing is quite what it seems when Gemma once again meets with CID Detective Devilin O’Conner, a former boyfriend, and starts looking into the strange events. Some suspects have means and motive, but opportunity is nixed with alibis. Other suspects had opportunity and motive, but not everyone has access to deadly poisons. The "Old Biddies,” four nosy octogenarians, add their own insights with a few covert explorations finding hidden flats, lacy thongs, and more suspicions. Gemma treads lightly since she doesn’t want to damage her friendship, but she decides to employ serious due dilligence when someone else falls victim. "Tea with Milk and Murder,” second book in H.y. Hanna’s Oxford Tearoom Mystery series, ranks right at the top of my favorite list! She once again has written an engaging mystery with several possibilities to ponder. The final solution didn’t come to me until…”Oh, no! Is that…?” Gemma Rose is a strong female character delightfully clever, and even with some confidence issues, I find her quite entertaining. There’s a bit of a romantic triangle, cat antics, interesting mother-daughter dynamic (No, I didn’t order that!), and four octogenarians who steal the scene. Many know I've always been a fan of all things British, so I am in ‘seventh heaven' with all the references to Oxford University and the local haunts, Meadowford on Smythe, and tea and treats. The recipe for Gemma’s mother’s Velvety Cheesecake is included…It is 'jolly good fun’!
