Once Upon a Crime

A British cozy mystery full of cake, clues, and countryside charm
A charming British cozy mystery full of cake, clues, and countryside secrets—perfect for fans of Agatha Raisin, The Thursday Murder Club and Laura Childs.
When Sandy Shaw swapped her high heels for homemade bakes and opened a cosy bookshop café in Waterfell Tweed, she never expected to be suspected of murder.
But when local show-off Reginald Halfman announces he's opening a rival bookstore across the village square—and then winds up dead—Sandy’s small-town dream turns into a real-life whodunnit.
With her business under threat, the police on her doorstep, and a second shocking attack shaking the village, Sandy realises she’ll have to take matters into her own hands. Good thing she’s got a sharp mind (and a sharper lemon drizzle).
Can Sandy find the killer before they strike again? Or will she be next on the list?
Once Upon a Crime is the first in the Waterfell Tweed Cozy Mystery series, featuring a quaint English village, quirky characters, comforting cake, and one determined amateur sleuth.
