"They say that showbiz is a cut-throat business and I got a front-row seat to what that means when I was invited onto Britain's hot new talent show." ~ Showbiz comes to Oxford in the form of Britain’s hottest new talent show and tearoom owner Gemma Rose gets a peek behind-the-scenes when she’s asked to cater for the event. But with the Old Biddies entering the contest as England’s first “granny band”, and her little tabby, Muesli, taking part in one of the acts, Gemma soon ends up with more than she bargained for… and that’s before she comes across a frozen dead body! Now, she’s on the trail of a murderer, with four nosy old ladies giving her a helping hand, while also dealing with her embarrassing mother, her workaholic boyfriend—and even a mouse invader at her tearoom! With things hotting up in the contest and so many suspects in the running, can Gemma catch the killer before the curtain falls? (* Dark Chocolate & Orange Scones recipe at the end of the story!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Murder And Humor In Oxford
Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2018

Gemma Rose and Muesli are busy catering for a new talent show in Oxford. Gemma's delicacies have been discovered by the producer of a up and coming revue. To Gemma's surprise and amazement, her favorite four 'The Biddies" are in the talent competition.

This is quite the selection of contestants and as the reality cameras are running, the backstage drama is flaring. Especially with one contestant who loves talking and goading people on with her flagrant tales of stealing husbands. That is until she speaks no more...

Gemma finds herself involved in trying to solve the crime. Muesli finds herself a star, almost and The Four Biddies with a fifth move up the ranks of popularity.

Meanwhile back at the Tearoom, there is a disappearing mouse...who left me laughing aloud.

I do enjoy this series of murder mysteries written in the British style. What fun and a darn good tale as well. If you haven't discovered Ms. Hanna's writing yet...Do so. Her two series are filled with foods, humor, and interesting murders. The characters stay with you as friends. The dialog is snappy and keeps you turning the pages.

This was an interesting story and the journey to the reveal of the murderer was fascinating. Nicely done with fun from Gemma and the Old Biddies. I was not too thrilled with the sex toy store details and was the reason for 4 stars vs. 5. The animals in the story from Muesli to the collie dog to the mouse were amusing and added a special appeal. Interesting reality show theme and the story flowed well with excellent editing.

I really enjoy this 9th Oxford Tearoom mystery or more like adventure with all Gemma and the Old Biddies got into. Just when you think Gemma couldn't get into more trouble and find a dead body, she does. This was a fun read, I recommend this book and series. I added the audible narration, which was excellent.

Unbelievably great reading experience. The story is rather fast paved so you have to stay on your toes to keep up! However, the story is quite thrilling! Even our heroine comes unhinged a little bit! I'm not telling you about it though! Grab the story and read it.

Hanna does not disappoint in the latest book of the series. There are almost too many suspects to count, and the motive and the murderer’s unmasking are most unusual. BRAVO!!!

His showing up less and less in the books. He needs to jump right out there and go for his girl. Cassie is getting older and might start looking to settle down.

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2021

I enjoyed most of the books in this series but I think I have had enough of nosy "old biddies" and an overly intrusive mother, not to mention a commitment phobic, part time boyfriend and a clueless best friend. Loved the description of Oxford and the surrounding areas which gave a quaint feel to the stories but the premise of the stories didn't change from the format of Gemma discovering a murder, the old ladies intruding and putting her in a tight spot and her mother's constant meddling. It just got old. Not what I would expect from an educated, gutsy woman.

Auch Teil 9 hat dieselbe Qualität wie die anderen Teile. Gut zu lesen, sehr amüsant mit dennoch interessanter Handlung. Auch legt die Autorin wieder Wert auch gute Charaktere und Freundschaft. Sehr empfehlenswert, wenn man das Genre mag

5.0 out of 5 stars The best series of cosy murder mysteries
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 17, 2018
Verified Purchase
I don't think is any doubt now - H. Y. Hannah's Oxford Tearoom Mysteries is the best series of cosy murder mysteries. How she gets even better as the series goes on, I do not know, but she does. This one is superb. Gemma, the owner of the tea-room just outside Oxford, gets a commission to provide her scones, cakes etc at the filming of a televised talent contest. One of the contestants is murdered, and Gemma (helped?) by the Old Biddies, finds herself mixed up in the investigation. The full cast of characters from her previous books - the aforementioned Old Biddies, her friend Cassie, her boyfriend D. I. O'Connor, her Mother, and of course her cat Muesli - are all here and provide a great background to the story. There are some hilarious moments, for example in a seedy sex-shop in Oxford and in a glossy magazine's office at the end, but the humour is kept in exactly the right balance and does not take over. I recommend this book, and the previous books in the series, as a 'must' for anyone who likes murder mysteries without the words 'gripping thriller' to promote them. There are cosy murder mysteries that I like, and those that I can only get half-way through - in each of the books in this series I have wanted to read on and on, but then get very annoyed that I have got to the end, and have to wait for the next one. Brilliantly written, great story-line, tremendous characters = great reading.

It was good to have the setting back in the Oxford area.
The story was well thought out. Considering the amount of suspects and the complications from the size and type of crime scene. There were a lot of red herring's and some nice seduction work from Cassie. Although there had been some vague clues about who the murderer might have been, it did come as a surprise in the end. I would like to see more involvement with Cassie and Seth and perhaps a bit less of the "old biddies".

The pace of the story was good and the extra involvement of Mrs. Rose as a judge added some extra humour to the proceedings. Overall the characters were well defined from their background and made the book even more interesting.

Looking forward the the next in the series.

This was one of my favourites so far but I do get irritated by Gemma’s mother and the old biddies! Sometimes I just wish she’d lose her cool with them. It doesn’t put me off though! Still a great read.
