A Spoonful of Scandal: A Cozy Murder Mystery

About A Spoonful of Scandal: A Cozy Murder Mystery

Maya Kapoor’s first big catering job in Merrywick should be a triumph. She’s hired to host an afternoon tea at the village’s fancy senior living facility, held in honour of a famous actress moving in. This is her chance to prove she belongs, and with samosas, cardamom cake, mini tartlets and ginger chai on the menu, she thinks it’s a doozy.

Unfortunately for her, the chief guest falls face-first into her cardamom cake. Dead! Although this is a matter for the police, Maya has never been particularly good at minding her own business.

A suspicious remark here, a secretive glance there, and she simply can’t resist poking her nose into matters that don’t concern her. And when someone dies at an event she’s catered, walking away simply isn’t an option. Her curiosity is running wild, and she’s determined to find out what really happened.

With a roomful of touchy seniors making wild accusations about one another as suspects, Police Sergeant Fiona Trent has no choice but to accept Maya’s help in solving the case. With Frankie at their side, Maya and Fiona dig into the secrets of the home, uncovering jealousies, old grudges, and a scandal no one wants stirred up. Clearly, in Merrywick, even a perfectly planned tea can be lethal.

A Spoonful of Scandal is a cozy animal mystery with a delicious culinary twist, set in a small English village full of secrets. It is the second book in The Merry Masala Murders series. For fans of M.
