A charming English village. A beloved tea room. One suspicious death. Agnes Plumridge is perfectly content running The Lavender Tea Rooms in the picturesque village of Little Biddlecombe. Her days are filled with baking the perfect scone, serving afternoon tea, and listening to the gentle hum of village gossip. Until a customer dies. When the village's grumpiest resident, Arthur Penhaligon, is discovered dead beside a half-eaten scone, the local constabulary quickly rules it a heart attack. Most of the villagers are happy to leave the matter alone. Agnes isn't so sure.
