About this listen

Katherine is a retired nurse and a retired church organist. The small Hudson River village where she lives in her Victorian “Painted Lady” makes her the neighborhood matriarch. Along with her Maine Coon Cat Robespierre, she guards friends and families.

When amoral Rachel moves into the first floor apartment of Katherine’s house, trouble erupts. The murder weapon is one she recognizes and makes her fear for her friends and family. Finding the killer becomes her goal.

Critic reviews

"Murder and Mint Tea is a gem in its genre, combining the voice of a classic American whodunit with that of a traditional British detective novel. Murder She Wrote meets Miss Marple in a beautifully crafted tale that makes the reader want to reach into the pages and dispense justice to the villainess themselves." (Gail Roughton)

Okay not what I was expecting for a mystery. It was well written and does show a good understanding of people but it just wasn't for me. Mainly because I wouldn't call It a mystery, the murder didn't happen until the last hour of the book, it was more a family drama or a study in people's behaviour.The victim wasn't nice and to be honest I am surprised she lasted as long as she did. I did like the main character but thought she would have done more than argue with her son, to help an abused child. It was also a little be annoying that the uncle used the exact same words every time to describe his niece.
Katherine breaks her hip and when she comes out of hospital it's to find changed have accrued in her street. A new family have moved in but it is not long before she realises the single mother of two, isn't the kind of neighbour you want living next door. She manipulates men into doing what she wants, is two faced to there wives, her son is a spoiled brat that bullies all the other kids and her daughter is scared of her own shadow. It's no wonder the woman ends up dead but can Katherine protect all her friends from being accused of killing her?
I liked the narrator. She used her voice well to portray young and old characters making it easy to follow along with who was speaking.
