Teapot Collector Mysteries #1 |
Author: Amanda Cooper (pseudonym of Victoria Hamilton)
Title: Tempest in a Teapot
Publisher: Berkley Prime Crime
Series: Teapot Collector Mysteries
ISBN: 978-0425265239
Tucked away in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York is the charming town of Gracious Grove, where time moves slowly, gossip spreads quickly, and the scones are to die for…
When her fashionable Manhattan restaurant goes under, Sophie Taylor retreats to her grandmother’s cozy shop, Auntie Rose’s Victorian Tea House, where serenity is steeped to perfection in one of her many antique teapots. The last thing Sophie expects is a bustling calendar of teahouse events, like her old friend Cissy Peterson’s upcoming bridal shower.
Not everyone is pleased with the bride-to-be’s choice of venue—like Cissy’s grandmother, who owns a competing establishment, La Belle Epoque, and has held a long-simmering grudge against Rose for stealing her beau sixty years ago. Tensions reach a boiling point when Cissy’s fiancĂ©’s mother dies while sampling scones at La Belle Epoque. Now, to help her friend, Sophie will have to bag a killer before more of the guest list becomes a hit list…

When Angela Braddock enters her

aunt’s Amish quilt shop, Running Stitch. But as the summer is winding down, so
is business. To bolster support for the shop, Angie decides to sell her quilts
in the Rolling Brook Amish Auction, including some of her aunt’s most prized
works. The quilts promise to be a hit—but the gavel comes down on the lively
event when Angie stumbles upon the body of township trustee Wanda Hunt behind a
canning shed. The cause of death: a poisoned blueberry fry pie from Rachel
Miller’s bakery table. Now Angie’s closest friend is a murder suspect. With
Angie taking the lead, she and the other women of her aunt’s quilting circle
set out to patch together the clues and stop a killer set on shredding the
simple peace of Rolling Brook.

Series: Domestic Diva Mysteries #8
ISBN: 978-0425258149
In the latest novel in the national
bestselling Domestic Diva Mystery series, it’s beginning to look a lot like
murder. The holidays are domestic diva Sophie Winston’s favorite time of year.
But this season, there seem to be more mishaps than mistletoe. First, Horace
Scroggins tumbles from a balcony during his office Christmas party. Then,
Sophie’s neighbor takes a fall from his ladder while decorating his roof with
lights. But it’s the cookie swap that really starts her wondering who’s naughty
or nice. Sophie arrives at the annual event with high spirits and thirteen
dozen chocolate-drizzled gingersnaps. But when an argument erupts and a murder
ensues, it becomes clear that the recent string of events is anything but
accidental. Now Sophie has to make a list of suspects…and check it twice!
