Murder with Cinnamon Scones by Karen Rose Smith

I finished Murder with Cinnamon Scones by Karen Rose Smith on Mothers Day. This is a lovely cozy about a tea room and with a truly complicated and winding mystery. I did not have it figured out at all! I loved the characters, the setting and the relationships, those that felt easy to understand and the more complex family dynamics.  This one is published by Kensington , and is out May 29th!

As local merchants unite to attract tourists for a much anticipated weekend quilting event, business is sure to spill over into eateries like Daisy’s Tea Garden. Gorgeous craftwork is hanging everywhere—but among the quilts, potholders, and placemats, one gallery owner is wrapped up in some dangerous affairs . . . Reese Masemer had been dating one of Daisy’s employees, Tessa, an artist, though their last interaction was as strained as a cup of loose leaf tea. Now Reese has been found dead near a covered bridge where Tessa’s been practicing her sketches. She’s the obvious suspect, but Daisy’s learning that there were some major secrets in Reese’s background, and several of his relationships were infused with resentment. To save Tessa, she’ll have to find out who’s tainted this quaint little town with murder . . .
