Historic books, cream teas, and murder. Ginny Hampton's first literary walking tour of Devon should have been a peaceful celebration of books and local history. Instead, it becomes a deadly affair when an influential book blogger collapses after the traditional cream tea stop-victim of a centuries-old poison recipe found in one of Hampton Books' own rare texts.

With her tour group now a collection of murder suspects, Ginny must navigate not only the police investigation but also the dark secrets lurking behind her participants' love of literature. Someone was willing to kill to silence the blogger's cutting reviews, but who had the most to lose from their poison pen?

As Ginny digs deeper into the world of literary rivalries and damaged reputations, she discovers that some people take their books very seriously indeed. With faithful companions Austen and Hardy sniffing out clues, and the comforting routine of village life disrupted once again, Ginny must solve the case before her literary tours become known for something far more sinister than good books and better biscuits.
