Gemma Rose's Oxford tearoom is doing so well that she feels it is time to move out of her parent's home into a place of her own. The problem is that flats in Oxford are ruinously expensive. Meanwhile, Gemma's overbearing and somewhat ditsy mother is still trying to match-make Gemma and a successful doctor. Never mind that Gemma and her former boyfriend, Oxford detective Devlin O'Connor, have rekindled their old romance.
Till Death Do Us Tart opens at a local cat show where Gemma's mother insists on entering Muesli, against Gemma's wishes. Muesli is a smart and adorable cat, but hardly a purebred. Her fears are not misplaced when she finds Muesli stationed between a prize-winning Persian and a Siamese. The two owners are an over-bearing academic and a paranoid woman who accuses Gemma of trying to poison her cat. When the obnoxious academic drops dead in the middle of the show the fun begins. The doctor on-site declares it a heart attack but the "Biddies" and Gemma's mom are sure it is MURDER. While Gemma is trying to keep the "sleuths" in order, she is also dealing with accidents in the tearoom kitchen and flat hunting.
Till Death Do Us Tart is the fourth of the Oxford Tearoom Mysteries. I love the setting, humor and the characters in the books. I highly recommend them as complete escape reading with lots of humor and mystery. I look forward to more in the series. Many thanks to the author for an advance digital copy in return for an honest review.
RATING- 4 Stars
