The Spy Who Loved Tea

Everyone in Lark’s End thinks Vera Calloway is a sweet old woman with a knitting bag, a fondness for tea, and an overfed cat named Watson. Everyone is wrong.

When Major Barnaby collapses face-first into his prize petunias at the village fête, the police see a tragic heart attack. Vera sees a professional hit. And after forty years in the Service, she knows the difference.

Now someone is buying up village land, blackmailing locals, and eliminating obstacles. Vera should leave it to the authorities.

Unfortunately, the authorities are useless.

Armed with knitting needles, spycraft, and one deeply judgmental ginger tabby, Vera sets out to save Lark’s End before the killer strikes again.

Retired spy? Perhaps. Finished? Not even close.
