In a tiny coastal town in New England, where days pass leisurely and tea and old legends remain the main pleasures, trouble strikes at Miss Jane’s tea shop: one of the guests dies right at his table.
The police write everything off as an accident, but Jane decides to find out the truth herself.
Hidden motives, mounting distrust, and murder against the backdrop of a cozy seaside coast—for those who love the classic English detective atmosphere with an American twist.
On the shore of New England, life remains calm and homely, as if time here hardly moves at all. Miss Jane, a fan of tea and ancient stories, unexpectedly becomes the owner of a tea shop in a small seaside town. But the idyll is shattered when tragedy occurs in her establishment: a visitor dies at a table. The police find no reason for suspicion, yet Jane is sure—it’s not just an unfortunate accident.
Doubts grow, other people’s secrets come to light, and Jane begins her own investigation. And, as often happens, the solution turns out to be far more unexpected than anyone could assume at first glance.
