3 posts | 4 read
When Gemmas romantic holiday with her boyfriend is cancelled, the tearoom sleuth finds herself heading to Vienna instead, with her cat Muesli and the nosy Old Biddies for company. And its not long before the gang stumble across a murder right in the heart of Austrias historic capital city. A handsome art critic dies in suspicious circumstances and the Old Biddies are determined to find out which fellow guest could be the killer. Is it the bitter hotel owner nursing a grudge? Or the jealous mistress wanting revenge? Or even the visiting American who seems inexplicably nervous around the police? Soon Gemma is dragged into an impromptu murder investigation which has her tackling Viennas famous pastries, snooping in police files and even braving a nude sauna in search of clues! But can she sort the suspects from the schnitzel, and solve the mystery before the killer strikes again? (** Viennese apple strudel recipe included at the end of the story!)

Perfect title for the book. Devlin, as usual, backs out of vacation plans; so, Gemma goes to Vienna for a visit and to collect an award. After a man is discovered dead @ the foot of the hotel balcony, Gemma begins to have suspicions. You‘re going to love the character Mei Mei. I hope we get to see her again.

This is a fun cozy series. This one takes the MC and her older friends to Austria, and it made me want to visit there someday!

Book 8 in the Oxford Tearoom cozy mystery series takes place in Vienna, Austria instead of the usual Oxford setting. Gemma's plans for a romantic vacation with her detective boyfriend Devlin get upset and she ends up going to Vienna with the snoopy 'Old Biddies'. A murderer takes place and the usual sleuthing ensues. I enjoyed this installment, but not as much as the mysteries set in Oxford. I will continue reading new books as they come out.

Traci1 I hadn't heard of this series. I love a good cozy, and one set in Oxford sound great. I'm going to have to look for book one. 😊 6y
