Reading Tea with Jam & Dread, the sixth entry in the Tea by the Sea cozy mystery series, is like slipping on a warm robe on a chilly winter day. It’s comforting and lets you forget all the troubling “fake” news of late.
In the book, Cape Cod tearoom proprietor Lily, her best female friend Bernie, and grandmother Rose are all off on a trip to England. During a birthday party there, gems are stolen and someone dies mysteriously while implicating Lily in the crime. The usual hijinks ensue.
It always feels like I am reading a letter from old friends when reading this series. The change of venue to England makes Tea with Jam & Dread an exciting read while still remaining comfortably familiar. If you like cozies, this series is always a great choice. 4 stars!
Thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Cozies for providing me with an advanced review copy.
