Earl Grey and Shallow Graves by Victoria Tait – Spotlight & Blog Tour

When I signed up for this blog tour, I had planned to grab a cup of Earl Grey tea and read the book. This did not happen. Neither the Earl Grey tea drink nor the reading.

So, I’m shining a spotlight on this exciting cozy mystery by Victoria Tait, an author whose books I’ve long wanted to read.

Like several other books and blog tours I’ve signed up for, I’ll be reading this mystery over the summer and sharing my review then.

For now, here’s what you need to know about Earl Grey and Shallow Graves: A British Cozy Murder Mystery with a Female Sleuth.

Book synopsis:

A 30-year-old skeleton. A missing girl. Can a community police officer read the tea leaves or will a deadly secret remain buried forever?

Sergeant Keya Varma is delighted with her new part-time role as the Cotswolds’ Rural Engagement Officer. She’s also fulfilling her dream of opening a small neighbourhood café. But she gets herself into a stew with renovation works when builders unearth a young girl’s remains.

While Keya and her police colleagues gain ground reviewing the unsolved disappearance of a local girl, her brief taste of success turns to dust when a friend is found dead at her tea shop. Confusion over identities threatens to bury the investigation and our junior police officer is worried that justice won’t be served.

Can Keya dig into the mystery and uncover the real culprit?

 

Earl Grey and Shallow Graves is the first book in The Waterwheel Café series. If you’ve enjoyed the Dotty Sayers Antique Mystery series, then you’ll love meeting some of your favourite characters and making new friends in Victoria Tait’s intriguing British cozy mystery.
