City girl Poppy desperately wants to pay off her debts, quit her dead-end job, find her father...oh, and keep a plant alive. But she knows that these are just hopeless dreams - until the day a letter arrives. Suddenly, Poppy is on a train heading deep into the English countryside to claim a mysterious inheritance. And the last thing she expects to receive is a cottage garden nursery - complete with romantic climbing roses, scented herbs, a bossy, talkative ginger cat...and a dead body.

Ein erholsames Wochenende in den Highlands steht ihr bevor, bei dem sie traditionelle schottische Backwaren probieren, sich im Fliegenfischen versuchen und lernen kann, wie man einen „wee dram“, einen kleinen Schluck Whisky, genießt. Doch als sie in der Schlossbibliothek über eine Leiche stolpert, wird Gemma in einen Mordfall verwickelt, der so verwirrend ist wie ein kompliziertes Schottenmuster!

Summer has arrived at Hollyhock Cottage, and romance is in the air. The roses are about to bloom, the garden nursery is filled with fragrance and color—and Poppy is going on her first proper "date" in a long time. Despite her qualms about mixing business with pleasure, she's accepted an invitation to dinner from a charming pesticide salesman and is looking forward to a night of flirting and fun. Instead, the evening ends with a chilling murder—it seems that insects weren't the only ones who found her handsome date toxic company!

Die Geschäfte laufen gut in Gemma Roses gemütlichem Tearoom und nun konnte sie sogar ihren ersten großen Catering-Auftrag an Land ziehen - bei einer Beerdigung im Dorf.

Nun muss die findige Tearoom-Detektivin aufdecken, welches der köstlichen Törtchen die tödliche Dosis Arsen enthalten hat - und wer es auf die begüterte Witwe abgesehen hatte.

Immer dabei sind die Silberlocken, vier neugierige alte Damen, die keine Gelegenheit auslassen, ihre detektivischen Fähigkeiten zu trainieren! Gemma hat nun alle Hände voll zu tun.

Things are eerily quiet at Gemma's quaint English tearoom, and she can't understand why - until she learns about the trendy new "tea bar" that's opened on the other side of the village. To her horror, she soon finds her customers being stolen. But Gemma has bigger problems when the rival owner is savagely murdered and she is considered the key suspect! And with her detective boyfriend accused of nepotism, Gemma is forced to tackle the case on her own. Luckily, she can still count on the help of the nosy Old Biddies, while the naughty antics of her tabby cat uncover clues, too!

Ein nächtlicher Anruf - und schon steckt Gemma Rose, ihres Zeichens Besitzerin des Little Stables Tearooms, mitten in einem neuen Mordfall. Und diesmal ist ausgerechnet ihr guter Freund Seth der Hauptverdächtige!
