Everyone told Cara Shelly that she was crazy to set up a cafe in the shadow of eccentric Kentish stately home Tanton Towers. But now, three years later, the forty-something single mother can’t believe her good luck. The Happy Huffkin cafe is thriving, and Cara considers the Tanton Towers staff and its equally eccentric owners, Max and Alison, to be more like family than colleagues. Three cheers for Tanton Towers! Determined that the culprit should not be one of her friends, and suspicious of the detective assigned the case, the deeply annoying, and annoyingly attractive DCI Andrew Mitchem, Cara launches her own investigation. But the more secrets she uncovers, the more she’s forced to consider the unthinkable: that one of her dear friends could be the killer.
