About this listen

Scones, a tea shop in England, a kitty, and a murder...yes, please!

Enjoy the first three books in the Oxford Tearoom Mysteries, in one handy collection! Join tearoom sleuth Gemma Rose, her mischievous feline Muesli, and the nosy Old Biddies as they tackle murder and mystery in the beautiful city of Oxford - not to forget the delights of delicious baking and afternoon tea in a quaint English village!

Books in this collection:

All-Butter Shortdead (Prequel)

Gemma ditches her high-flying job and returns to Oxford to follow her dream: Opening a traditional English tearoom serving warm buttery scones with jam and clotted cream, and fragrant tea in pretty bone china...Only problem is- - murder is the first thing on the menu and Gemma is the key suspect!

A Scone to Die For (Book 1)

When an American tourist is murdered with a scone in her quaint English tearoom, Gemma must solve the mystery with the help of the nosy Old Biddies and a mischievous little feline named Muesli. But between her bossy, matchmaking mother and the return of her old college love as a handsome CID detective, Gemma soon has her hands full and her head spinning!

Tea with Milk and Murder (Book 2)

While at an Oxford cocktail party, tearoom owner Gemma Rose overhears a sinister conversation minutes before a University student is fatally poisoned. Could there be a connection? And could her best friend's new boyfriend have anything to do with the murder? Too late, Gemma realises that she could be next on the killer's list. Or will her little tabby cat, Muesli, save the day?

Clean listen: No graphic violence, sex, or strong language.

well narrated. I found the characters too unbelievable and the story forced. I did like the humour at times.

well read but poor stories

Easy listen but the writing is a bit cringeworthy and over explains very simple things. "Nicotine? like you get in cigarettes?"

Well narrated, poorly written.

If nothing else, listen to these & especially the following book, book 3 for narrator Pearl Hewitt’s fabulous miaows!
These books are very good, comfortable listening & they do keep you guessing. Am enjoying that are set in Oxford & the places there & around. And what a beautiful cat & gorgeous name!

I was listening to this book in bed and felt I had to get my laptop to write this review. Are you looking for a nice, cosy book, with an engaging (but not overly complex) storyline, read in a clear and interesting manner at a sensible pace for bedtime listening? If so, then this is the audible book for you. I listen to audio books at bedtime and at moments in the day when I need to just gather my thoughts and restore a sense of well-being. So many audio books have annoying narrators who garble or rush through it, sometimes with a thick accent which needs your brain to be at 200% in order to translate what is being said into English. This audio book is just the opposite. It is very well read, at a sensible pace, with just enough expression and colour to draw you into the story. I lived in Oxford for a few years, and loved it, and this book brought back all the happy memories.

Yes, the plot is not overly elaborate. But neither is it one of these books that just goes nowhere. It's a good balance, and allows me to fall asleep at bedtime after listening to it (on sleep timer obviously) and still remember enough to pick up the next bedtime. OK, I sometimes have to rewind a minute or 2, but no biggie.

So look, if you're sick of audio books with annoying narrators and plots with 100% fluff or, conversely, 100% what-the-hell-is-going-on then this book is for you. This book provides a really nice environment for immersing yourself in a story, and the story is interesting, the characters are warm and come to life, and there's an element of cosyness without being sickly sweet.

If you're looking for something to bring you down from the stressful times the world is going through at the moment, then buy this.

YES YES YES
