Murder at the Tea Rooms: A 1920s Cozy Mystery (Lady Felicity Quick Mystery Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Rosie Hunt (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 1,102 ratings

The Green Ginger Tea Rooms have a neatly thatched roof, scones baked to perfection, and under a lace-edged tablecloth … a corpse!

England, 1921. On the eve of her first official assignment working with the reporter she admires most, journalist Lady Felicity Quick is more than slightly vexed when her grandmother requests a favour she cannot refuse.

Acts of petty sabotage are undermining the success of tea rooms run by a cherished friend of Felicity’s grandmother. But on arriving in the village to play the detective, Felicity finds more than spilt food dye and collapsed sponges.

Murder has occurred, and her grandmother’s friend is the prime suspect.

Can Felicity use her sleuthing skills to unmask the real killer and still make it in time for her special assignment? Or will Felicity’s battle to outwit a deadly foe destroy not only the tea rooms’ future — but also her own?

Uncover the secrets of the tea rooms in this enchanting mystery set in a quaint 1920s English village, full of suspense, humour and whimsical characters!

Murder at the Tea Rooms is perfect for readers who love the bold lady sleuths of Verity Bright and Jacqueline Winspear, the cosy English settings of Agatha Christie and Martha Bond, and the twisty period puzzles of Benedict Brown and Helena Dixon.

Rosie Hunt is a British author of cozy mysteries both puzzling and historical. Her books include the Lady Felicity Quick mystery series set in the green and pleasant countryside of southwest England in the 1920s.

A history addict and former journalist, Rosie grew up immersed in the worlds of Poirot and Miss Marple. This early exposure to baffling murder mysteries rather coloured her outlook on life, and it was only a matter of time before she wrote her own.

Rosie loves clotted cream, knitting, and Golden Age crime fiction and never misses an opportunity to visit a National Trust property. She lives with her husband and their fluffy, four-pawed overlord on a river in Northern Europe.

    This is a fun read, if you can ignore the dead bodies.

    Lady Felicity works as a reporter for the family newspaper. She also has been known to investigate murders. Her brother runs the newspaper and he does not approve of her investigating. On the other hand, her Grandmother has just asked her to go to the village of Ippleford and find out who is damaging the tea shop.

    The shop is owned and run by Vera. Vera used to be her grandmother’s lady’s maid. And she has always been treated as though she were part of the family.

    So, Felicity and Pip, her well loved dog, are in the village and asking questions.

    Before the investigation can progress very far, a woman is killed in the tea shop in the middle of the night. How did she get in? Why was she there? And who in the world would want to kill a customer?

    Felicity and Pip are joined by Alex. He is a reporter for the newspaper too. But, he is a professional. Generally he is sent to work with Felicity. It is almost as though her brother does not believe she can work alone.

    As both Felicity and Alex ask questions and try to make sense of what has happened, there is another murder.

    The mystery is a good one. I had different ideas about who might be the villain. I found I was wrong.

    Felicity has a learning curve in life. She is from a wealthy family and has had privileges all her life. But, she is game to be learn about how the other half lives. She has a good heart and she is much smarter than she realizes.

    The secondary characters are marvelous. The villagers are individuals who all appear to be a little quirky. Everyone seems supportive of Vera and her business. Some people have their own agenda and care nothing for the tea room, but they do not want the todo that goes with a murder in the village.

    I am a fan of period mysteries. Staying true to the time is not always easy. This one is well done and I recommend it. But, if you are on a diet, skip the pages when they are talking about the desserts from the tea shop.

    What put me off a little is that she carries her little dog everywhere. How can she be a serious reporter carrying her little dog around like Paris Hilton? I liked all the other characters and the storyline.

    Felicity is on assignment this time for her grandmother. A beloved former lady’s maid who left service to work in hospitality in London now has her own tea shop in a nearby town. Vera the lady in question has run into a spot of trouble specially petty vandalism. Felicity’s grandmother has tasked her with finding the culprit. With no way of turning down her grandmother she’s on the case but slightly displeased as it’s put her journalistic aspirations on hold once again. Felicity is sure it’s a member of the staff so she just has to figure out who and hope the luck she had in previous investigations holds through this one. Further tying her hands the owner doesn’t want anyone to know, not even the staff so Felicity must act as if she is just writing a travel piece. Tragedy strikes when there’s not one but two deaths of suspicious circumstances and Felicity is not at all sure that the conclusion drawn is the correct one. Though she had her reservations about how helpful she could be she feels a determination to help and to discover if the truth has been overlooked. She’s on a short timeline with her brother and fellow reporter Alex Cooper expecting her elsewhere shortly she’s caught between the desire to help a kind woman and family friend and her ambition. Which will win out?
    A rousing romp through the English countryside and another perplexing case for Lady Felicity Quick. Kept me guessing from start to finish. I never would’ve guessed who the culprit was. I enjoyed that Lady Henrietta was a bit more present in this story and her support of Felicity is lovely. Also enjoyed the growing partnership between Felicity and Alex. He seems to have come to really value her insight. A very enjoyable story in a great historical mystery series!
    I received an ARC from the author this is my honest review.

    Book three in this series continues the gradual development of Felicity’s character development and, of course, her detective and reporting skills.

    The elements of the plot are well described in the listing for the book, and I will not repeat it here.

    Ms Hunt moves the plot along with a sufficient number of twists and turns and red herrings so that the denouement unfolded skillfully.

    This has developed into a marvelous and quite believable series.

    I highly recommend this book.

    3.0 out of 5 stars A good mystery with unnecessary drama
    Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2024
    Hunt writes riveting mysteries with intriguing plots if she would just do proper research and get a better editor or Beta readers to correct the grammatical errors and mistakes in the manuscript. She uses many chapters detailing erroneous social situations which might have been true in the twenty-first century but were NOT in the 1920s where she has chosen to set her series. I was continually distracted with her lack of knowledge concerning social customs of the aristocracy one hundred years ago. She should stick with contemporary topics if she is unwilling to become familiar with her subject.

    Four examples from this story

    1. People always addressed each other formally. Women never suggested, when being introduced to someone, that they be called by their given name, especially by a man.
    2. The aristocracy did not "walk" their dogs. It was rude and inconsiderate to always thrust her dog into EVERY situation outside her own home.
    3. Young unmaried women, especially the aristocracy, did not travel or sleep away from home unaccompanied.
    4. Young women from the upper classes, unless extremely impoverished, had no knowledge of domestic duties nor performed maintenance of any kind, i.e. building a fire.

    I would rate the mystery much higher if not for many more instances such as those listed above which continually detract from the story.

    Lady Felicity regularly defies the conventions of her. time and is supposedly preparing to write, in her roll as a journalist, a piece extolling the virtues of this idyllic village. However with trouble brewing and a peculiar cast of characters causing mystery and mayhem, and even a possible ghost, there is danger. Once again she teams up with her journalist colleague to find the ‘who and the why’ when a body is found. As clues are discovered and found wanting, can Lady Felicity avoid death herself? Is the ghost really part of the problem? Try your wits against those of the intrepid duo. Will you be the reader who solves the crimes before the police and the two investigators?
    I hope I can soon lose myself in another Lady Felicity adventure.

    I've enjoyed the previous books in the Lady Felicity Quick historical mystery series and I am still a fan. Murder at the Tea Rooms is the third book in the series. The 1920s is one of my favourite time periods and this series sends you on a lovely short trip back in time with an intriguing mystery to solve. The author's sense of humour shines through in this book. I loved the fact that the murder weapon was, of all things, a teapot.

    Murder at the Tea Rooms is a light, pleasant read and an excellent whodunnit with a host of credible suspects. Most of the employees of the tearoom had previous trouble with the law so it wasn't a wild stretch that the murderer could be one of them.

    The story had loads of twists and turns and the mystery was complicated enough to keep me guessing until the end. To confuse matters further, Felicity's investigation was misled by the assumption that all the crimes committed were connected. So, Felicity and Alex had more than one case to solve while they were there.

    I enjoyed their teamwork and the friendship developing between them.

    The humour at the end had me smiling as I closed the book. I'm looking forward to reading the next case for this investigative duo.
