4.5 out of 5 stars 514 ratings

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

It’s Christmas in Plumpton Mallet, but it’s not all holiday cheer and goodwill.

The festive season brings with it the biggest and most important event of the year for Plumpton Mallet, the annual Christmas Market. Attracting visitors nationwide, this time it’s bigger than ever.

But there’s one unexpected arrival who’s not welcome, and he’s out to cause trouble.

When a lifeless body is found outside Lilly’s shop, she’s shocked. But the arrest of one of her staff changes the shock to anger and compels Lilly to turn sleuth once more to prove their innocence.

Yet proving one person innocent means another must be guilty and this time Lilly might not be ready for the truth.

A Frosty Combination is the fifth 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!

    Miss Tweed’s observational skills and her innate nosiness is always a good combination for a sometimes detective and crime-solver. The author does an excellent of keeping the reader’s interest in Lily’s adventures. Thank you, Ms New!

    Not a fan of how she always rushes into situations she could avoid. would love to read one where she allows police to pay gangbusters first instead of second. But, like the series

    Love this cozy series. As a tea drinker, I really like books with tea drinkers in them…..especially when the author includes interesting tidbits of tea info, a cat named Earl Grey, charming characters, evil doers doing evil deeds, mysteries to solve, no graphic violence, No cliffhanger endings, and no sex. I can’t wait for the next book. So, curl up in a comfy chair with a cup of tea and enjoy the mystery.

    Modern cozy mystery novels are normally not my cup of tea but I simply can not put down this series! The characters at this point are well established and behave accordingly. It FEELS like a historical mystery and yet has the nuances that make a modern novel so popular. I can't wait to see what happens to Lily and her crew in the next book. I just know I will be ready to have some of that amazing tea and ready to see what sympathy Lilly provides.

    I must admit I binge read this series. I loved the characters and the whole thing about teas. Nice clean story, no cuss words, no graphic sex. Just nice well written stories with surprising endings.

    As new partnerships, alliances and businesses are formed, so are tragic memories brought to the front threatening to spoil the village’s holidays.

    A Frosty combination leaves you a lovely Christmas glow about people and their abilities. It's well written and would have scored higher if the genre and length was more complex. So if you love cozy fiction consider it a five.

    Am enjoying this series although I only gave 4* as I felt there really was rather a lot of padding in this one.
