The Widow's Blend — The Thornwick Tea Shop Mysteries, Book 3

Every secret in Thornwick has a keeper. One of them just died.

On the evening of 14 January 1926, Mrs. Honoria Creech drinks her nightly tisane and goes to her chair to read. By morning the kindest woman in the parish is dead, the doctor has called it an accident, and Thornwick is quietly relieved.

Bea Hawthorne, botanist and keeper of the Willow & Thyme, knows a comfrey leaf from a foxglove. And she knows the only leaf in that cup was put where the dead woman's hand would go.

What she does not know is why a village would rather forgive a killing than look at it — or what to do when thirty years of a whole parish's secrets, held in a small red book, pass one snowy morning into her own two hands.

A snowbound, fair-play village mystery about the difference between keeping a secret and holding one.
