Afternoon Absentea
(2025)(The second book in the Baker's SurpRISE Mysteries series)
A novel by R A Hutchins
With one murder just solved and another looming on the horizon, the ‘charming coastal town’ of Bakerslea-By-The-Sea is not living up to its reputation!
Not for the residents of Ginger’s dance hall, at least, where today’s special on the afternoon tea menu appears to be betrayal. The show must go on, however, even if they are all spinning in ever-decreasing circles.
With the shock discovery of a body seemingly strangled in broad daylight, and someone she cares about being labelled a top suspect, patisserie chef Naomi Bramble-Miller will have to cook up a storm in the sleuthing department if she’s to rise to the challenge.
And with a lovesick Reggie the parrot by her side, what could possibly go wrong?
After all, what could be better than one parrot in a cosy crime story?
Tensions run high in this high-stakes caper as everyone at Ginger’s seeks to avoid making a misstep, though the general hysteria about the place could sweep anyone off their feet.
Are the curtains about to fall for the last time at the ill-fated venue?
Currant buns and betrayal, sweet tea and treachery, this popular murder mystery series will have you laying out your fine china and putting your dancing shoes on for some serious amateur sleuthing!
Note from the author: Whilst some of the characters from the Baker's Rise Mysteries series may pop up from time to time, this new set of stories can be read without any prior knowledge of those books. This series is best enjoyed when read in order. Happy sleuthing!
Genre: Cozy Mystery
