Monday's Book - Murder and Mint Tea #BWLAuthor #MFRWAuthor

 

Finally opening the blog again. It's been a long time and decided to feature Murder and Mint Tea today. This book has sold since 1998. Murder and Mint Tea has been consistently earning a bit here and there since that day. I remember the day I began writing the book. I had a neighbor who was worse than the villainess in this book so I decided to write this person into the story. Katherine Miller has been a constant in my life since then and she has had other murders impinging on her life. All fictional, of course.

Take a look at her books and think about the cakes she likes to bake and the people who have entered and left her life.

Katherine is a retired nurse and a retired church organist. The small Hudson River village where she lives in her Victorian “Painted Lady” makes her the neighborhood matriarch. Along with her Maine Coon Cat Robespierre, she guards friends and families.

When amoral Rachel moves into the first floor apartment of Katherine’s house, trouble erupts. The murder weapon is one she recognizes and makes her fear for her friends and family. Finding the killer becomes her goal.

Editorial Review
Murder and Mint Tea is a gem in its genre, combining the voice of a classic American whodunit with that of a traditional British detective novel. Murder She Wrote meets Miss Marple in a beautifully crafted tale that makes the reader want to reach into the pages and dispense justice to the villainess themselves. ~ Writer Gail Roughton
