Prequel Short Story: Rocky Road and Resolutions

Rural Police Sergeant Keya Varma begins the New Year with an afternoon tea course at a Cotswold manor, but before the first lesson is over, her instructor receives an anonymous blackmail demand.

Keya expects to spend four days learning to prepare sandwiches, cakes and sausage rolls. Instead, she starts making discreet enquiries after her frightened instructor refuses to involve the police.

Between flat sponge cakes and temperamental pastry, Keya discovers that professional rivalry and wounded pride may lie behind the threats.

Can she sift through the bakers’ secrets and end the blackmail before the last cake is judged?

Prequel – Inheritance and Intrigue in the Cotswolds

Unable to decide who should receive it, Georgina calls the police. But their attention shifts from the disputed ring to an unexplained death, and she begins making enquiries of her own.

Can Georgina solve the mystery and begin rebuilding her life?
