Brilliant

Any additional comments?

A brilliant follow up to 'A Scone to Die For.'

Gemma, once again, lands herself in hot water when she investigates a murder that takes place during her friend's art exhibition. There are plenty of suspects to choose from and her friend's new boyfriend is number one on her list. There are plenty of twists in the story and I was as surprised as Gemma was with the identity of the murderer.

In addition to the mystery, the funny side stories involving Gemma's mother working in the tearoom make for delightful and entertaining reading. Luckily, Gemma has the 'Old Biddies' on hand when things start to fall apart. They keep their noses firmly in other people's affairs and pour tea at the same time.
I love the way Muesli, the cat, is written into the story and comes to the rescue at just the right moment.

There are some developments in Gemma's love life as well but I'm hoping this aspect isn't rushed too quickly to a happy ending for her and Devlin as I am enjoying their little arguments as well as her mother's matchmaking attempts.

Oxford is described in such warmth and detail that it makes me want to hop over for a weekend, take a walk around and drop in for tea.
The narration is excellent and easy to listen to.

Settle down with a cup of tea and enjoy

I enjoyed this book.

There were lots of suspects and even though I had guessed the killer about mid way through the book is was still fun listening to Gemma trying to work out who the culprit was and keep her friendship, love life and sanity in one piece.

I love the extra characters namely her mum (who loves Gemma and instead of telling her that shows it buying things....normally with things nobody wants) and the old ladies (who know everybody and try to help Gemma by solving the crime first and getting in trouble) as they had a humours side to the stories.
The narrator was very good and uses several pitches to portray the characters.

Another enjoyable audiobook featuring Muesli

If you could sum up Tea with Milk and Murder in three words, what would they be?

Enjoyable, funny, intriguing

Who was your favorite character and why?

That just has to be Muesli, and this time she was the hero of the hour.

What does Pearl Hewitt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

I enjoy the different voices that Pearl uses for the various characters, especially Gemma's mother. She brings the audiobook to life.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Gemma's mother and her online shopping is hilarious, as is the antics of the 'old biddies' , made me laugh several times.

Any additional comments?

Another excellent book, which leaves you unsure of who the murderer is until near the end of the book. I have read most of the series of these books, but listening to them really brings them to life.

Good follow on book from A Scone to Die for

I've recently finished listening to HY Hannah first audio book of A scone to die for & was keen to continue with this one and where she would take the characters.

I enjoyed hearing the new mystery about the death of a woman in an art gallery which happened in front of a crowd of people which therefore made it a more complex case to solve. H Y Hanna returns with the previous characters and unravels more of their lives whilst intertwine the solving of the mystery.
All evidence points to one person, however when someone else almost dies they have to go back to square one and reinvestigate.

Another good murder mystery tale which is thoroughly enjoyable to read and to listen to.
