In a quiet village, some secrets refuse to stay buried...

When a prominent Thornwick nurseryman is found dead on the frozen church path, the village is ready to call it a fall on the ice — and to be quietly relieved. But there is a single foxglove bell caught in his scarf, and foxgloves do not bloom in February. Bea Hawthorne knows within a minute that he did not die where he was found.

Bea, proprietor of the Willow & Thyme tea shop, cannot let it lie. The trail leads through a heated glasshouse, a nursery about to be sold from under the families who work it, a set of account books that balance a little too well, and a book on Bea's own shelf that a dead man wanted very badly — with a name in it from the winter of 1894.

With a railway inspector who comes on Thursdays, a housekeeper who hears everything, and her own botanist's eye, Bea must find the truth before a hard winter takes more than one life. But in a village where everyone has something to protect, the truth can be a dangerous thing — especially when it blooms out of season.

Tea. Friendship. Mystery. A charming cozy set in 1920s Kent, where good tea brings out the truth.
