Meet Lilly Tweed. Former Agony Aunt. Purveyor of Fine Teas. Accidental Sleuth.

It’s the height of summer and Lilly has been asked to demonstrate at a local book club. Not only is this her first event, but it’s for the crème de la crème of the town’s residents, a member of the aristocracy and a wealthy heiress included.

When the proceedings get underway Lilly notices underlying tension and competition between the members and it’s not long before tragedy strikes. The heiress is found dead.

As a prime witness Lilly is asked unofficially to help solve the crime, but with motives galore, animosity running rife and all the women having spent time alone with the victim, the culprit could be any of them.

The more she digs the murkier it becomes, and she soon realises appearances are deceiving when it comes to the rich and titled of Plumpton Mallet.

A Deadly Solution is the second book in the exciting Tea & Sympathy series. If you like twists and turns, red herrings galore and big crimes in small British towns, then you’ll love J. New’s latest series. Full of lively personalities, intelligent characters and excellent tea!

Buy A Deadly Solution today and see if you can work out whodunit!

4.0 out of 5 stars I wish Lilly would open a franchise in America!

I really like the characters (though maybe not James) and Earl Grey is my favorite! I'd make the books last longer if I had my way. Maybe they need to start their own line of the blends to sell. There's never too much trouble when murder is involved so a few more scenes would be good. And give Stacie more to do then just "hold the fort.". She's smart let her advance the investigations too.

Like the fact characters are likeable and interesting. Also not overly descriptive, nice comfortable easy read. Do like the more advanced (?) words used. Always nice to add to my vocabulary.

I stumbled on this series, and am so happy I did! The characters are well written, and you can picture the town from the descriptions. I plan on continuing this series, and recommend it anyone who enjoys fast paced, light murder mysteries.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Read for a Cold, Rainy Day

My life has been exhausting and I needed an escape that wouldn’t overtax my brain. This was PERFECT. Interesting characters, delightfully fun bad guys, interesting location, new things to learn about tea. I am HAPPY and won’t have nightmares tonight.

There is a substantial sprinkling of misspellings and grammatical errors, but the story flowed so nicely that I didn’t even care.

Now on to the third book in the series!

The rating would most definitely be higher, but this is a short cozy that can be savored by many. Only the length and light content kept me going four stars.

I am thoroughly enjoying this series of books. Love the setting of the tea shop in an English village. The characters are interesting and the murder mysteries are well done. A pleasant way to get lost for a few hours with a nice cup of tea.

This is one of my favorite writers. I am not British, but am a tea drinker......so anything about tea catches my interest. Add a mystery, evil doers doing evil deeds, an adorable cat, and I'm right there! Enjoyed this immensely. I have the next one on my "to be read shelf" already. Enjoy.

I love this series. Well written, considering it is about murder the whole book I find relaxing as I imagine the lovely little village, the relaxing tea shop not to mention interesting characters they are starting to feel like old friends. I have over the years drank occasional herbal teas but reading these books it has enticed me to drink more of them. I purchased some Linden flowers and I thought goes to show the power of books. Highly recommend if you enjoy light and enjoyable mysteries.

Another good mystery from J. New. After reading Tea and Tragedy I looked forward to reading this second book.

The book is well written and keeps you guessing. I love how it's easy to read and I can keep up with the characters. But it's nice not to know how the book ends. Very clever how J New does it. Look forward to more editions.

These stories are easy to read and fun.The stories meander easily and are both realistic enough to visualise the events actually happening in real life.I read both back to back and loved them.
