The Lady Doth Protest Monica Knightley

Stratford Upon Avondale’s tea room owner, Maggie O’Flynn, finds her amateur sleuthing skills put to the test when her best friend and sidekick, Gina Mattucci, is arrested for the murder of a man attending a conference being held in the charming faux-English village. Everything points to Gina as the murderer, especially the fact that the victim was an old boyfriend of hers and she was seen arguing with him just hours before he died. And it doesn’t help her case that in his last minutes of life he wrote a damning message: I hate you Gina. But when two of Gina’s uncles and her sister arrive in town, not only does Maggie have help in her quest to find the real killer, but she also has an opportunity to finally learn more about her spitfire friend. Does the family really have ties to the New Jersey mob as Gina has frequently claimed? Maggie has always been certain this is nothing more than a fantasy of Gina’s. But is it?THE LADY DOTH PROTEST is the sixth book in THE STRATFORD UPON AVONDALE mystery series. Though part of a series, THE LADY DOTH PROTEST can be read and enjoyed as a standalone. With wonderfully quirky characters, plenty of sass and charm, and copious amounts of tea, the STRATFORD UPON AVONDALE MYSTERIES will delight lovers of cozy mysteries.
