THE COZY ENIGMAS OF OAKHAVEN

Murder, marmalade, &
the occasional mislaid corpse.

Welcome to Oakhaven, where the vicar is always suspect, the neighborhood watch is ruthlessly efficient, and a good cup of Earl Grey solves almost everything.

LATEST RELEASE

The Teapot Treason

When the town's most notorious gossip is found face-down in Lady Agatha's prize-winning petunias — with a silver tea strainer in her pocket — amateur sleuth and retired librarian Miss Marigold realizes her peaceful retirement is officially over.

"A perfectly steeped brew of mystery and charm. Plum is a master of the cozy genre."

— THE DAILY CHRONICLE

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Tea, typewriters,
& trouble.

Beatrice Plum writes from a draughty cottage in the Cotswolds, accompanied by a tabby named Inspector Whiskers and an unreasonable quantity of biscuits.

A former librarian and unrepentant eavesdropper, she has spent decades cataloging the small intrigues of village life — most of which, she insists, are entirely fictional.
