Infused with Murder

An Irish Tearoom Mystery

Penny Cavanagh hosts a business-boosting workshop at her family tearoom, but things reach a boiling point when an uninvited attendee is strangled.

Hoping to capitalize on the increased tourist traffic this summer in Blarney Green, Penny plans a free workshop at her family’s tearoom to be hosted by resident tea sommelier Ian Duffy. However, trouble brews quickly when Ian’s mentor, famed tea expert Niles Barton, arrives and attempts to commandeer the event. Dealing with Niles’s rude behavior takes every last drop of Penny’s patience—but her resolve is truly tested when she discovers the snobbish sommelier strangled at Ian’s cottage.

Although nobody in the close-knit village would believe Ian capable of the cold-blooded crime, the police must treat Ian as the main suspect when circumstantial evidence starts to pile up against him. Penny begins investigating other possibilities, soon learning that Niles collected far more enemies than allies over the years and motives for his murder are plentiful. Will Penny help capture a killer before her investigation runs out of steam, or will her battle of wits with the murderer reach a boiling point she can’t escape?

Out of the frying pan, into the fire....  

Courtney Archer is known for hosting the show Cooking with the Farmer's Daughter...despite the fact that she's actually a pediatrician's daughter. Now she's signed on for a role on The American Baking Battle. On this reality show, she can start developing a more authentic image for herself - and as a bonus, the usual backstabbing and manufactured drama isn't part of the Baking Battle script. But genuine drama is heating up behind the scenes....   

During a film shoot in the scenic Pocono Mountains, Courtney has to juggle career commitments like pots on a six-burner stove. Adding to the stress is Mick, a contestant who finds out about her fake farm-girl story. Determined to succeed at her new gig, she whips up a cherry cobbler in a cast-iron fry pan one evening and leaves it out to cool. But the next morning, it's Mick's body that's cooling - right next to Courtney's pan, now classified as a murder weapon....
