Synopsis

Between her family and her reporting duties for the Tinker’s Cove, Maine Pennysaver, Lucy Stone could use a break. So when a friend tells her about a trip to England sponsored by Winchester College, she jumps at the chance for a girls’ getaway. But when the professor leading the tour dies mid-flight after an asthma attack, Lucy’s glad she packed her sleuthing skills. In London, Professor Quentin Rea, a ladies’ man and former flirt of Lucy's, arrives to take over the tour—and she finds that while his hairline has receded, his amorous intentions have not. And as Lucy notices some peculiar behavior and uncovers some surprising connections—and then another tour member dies—she winds up in a daring scheme to find a mastermind of murder…

Goodreads review by James on March 23, 2024

In English Tea Murder, the 17th Lucy Stone Mystery, our heroine takes a trip with her 3 besties and a college crew to London, where the group leader dies of an asthma attack midflight. The fun part of this story is that it kicks off at the airport and there's hardly any lead-in before the murder hap......more

Goodreads review by Barbara on March 23, 2024

Lucy and friends have taken me on a tour of London and surrounds with a group of very misguided characters. This has a hint of Agatha Christie and some very interesting twists. The trail mix was a dead giveaway, but doesn’t spoil the story. So far, I’ve liked this one best. As usual, unanswered ques......more

Lucy finally gets a vacation all to herself and what do you think happens? There's a murder! Her dream trip to England is almost ruined by weird happenings (and people!) in her tour group.

Could Lucy and her friends be any more self-centered? So what if the leader of their London tour dies mid-flight... Their tour must go on! The selfish attitude continues; when a member of the tour shares her personal tragedies with Lucy, Lucy becomes irritated that she was such a downer. My goodness......more

Goodreads review by Seema on March 04, 2012

Kind of a boring murder mystery really. The author was clearly going for a new Miss Marple but the main protagonist didn't have to do much of an investigation of the mystery - the clues just fell in her lap while she walked around. Not nearly the suspense, sense of danger, and clear deduction logic......more
