Footloose and Fancy Tea
(2025)(The first book in the Baker's SurpRISE Mysteries series)
A novel by R A Hutchins
A brand new cosy murder mystery series for 2025! Grab your bucket and spade for a trip to the seaside... and perhaps pack an umbrella, this is England after all!
A new job as a patisserie chef in Bakerslea-By-The-Sea, a quiet coastal town in northeast England, is the perfect fresh start that Naomi Bramble-Miller has been looking for. Hired to provide the afternoon teas at the local ballroom dancing hall, Naomi is keen to settle into the calm routine of small town life.
Nothing about the advertised role is as it seems, however, not least having a surprise arrival on her very first day. Without delay, Naomi’s childhood pet ruffles some feathers and sticks his beak where it’s not wanted.
Having Reggie by her side, Naomi must reluctantly admit that life is never going to be quiet, and the pair are soon caught up in a murder investigation right on their doorstep.
With her new job and the home that came with it on the line, can Naomi waltz her way to a happy ending, or are the winds of cha-cha-change a-coming?
Darjeeling and death, macarons and murder, this cozy new series will have you polishing off your cake stand 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. Each of these new stories contains a completely resolved mystery, though the stories in this series have been written with plot arcs spanning three books each. So, books one to three are best read together and in order, books four to six, and so forth. Happy sleuthing!
