MY REVIEW
Have you read any of the books in the Beattie Bramshaw Mystery series? This was my first, and I’m sure it won’t be the last.
If you love Cozy Mysteries as much as I do, you’ll want to read this book from cover to cover, and in one sitting. The chapters were divided by characters, and when zooming in on each one, it makes the book more and more suspenseful.
I especially loved the characters, who were painted vividly with each paragraph. Some of the characters were annoying and others charming. As Beattie Bramshaw prepares for her wedding to Doug, she takes on a little too much.
She agrees to house and mother her teenage relative, who is a delight, but also a handful. While busily handling much of the community’s society, Beattie is also ready to solve another murder. Will she get it right and clear the name of someone she loves?
Cozy mysteries usually have a lot of humor, and Toffee Apple Strudel certainly has it’s share. When you read this book you’ll be guessing who-done-it until the very end.
Toffee Apple Strudel
A NEW BEATTIE BRAMSHAW MYSTERY – It’s the summer of 2001, and for WI Secretary and practised busybody Beattie Bramshaw, it’s a time of new beginnings.
Her much-anticipated wedding to vegetable grower extraordinaire Doug Sparrow is now just months away. However, in the throes of setting up their marital home and new market garden business, she receives a surprise request to care for a distant relative.
Likewise, a number of her fellow Elmesbury residents also find their lives on the cusp of change, and not all for the good. Is it pure chance that the arrival of Beattie’s young ward coincides with yet another murder in the village? Or were plans already afoot?
Once again, Beattie picks up the gauntlet, but can she solve the case and uncover the murderer’s identity before it casts a shadow over her wedding to Doug?
Toffee Apple Strudel is a comedy crime caper in the style of Agatha Raisin and sees the conclusion of the ‘Beattie Bramshaw Mysteries series’. Make a brew, grab a chair, and prepare for a fun-filled finale.

Author Bio – Susan A. King lives with her husband in the North East’s equivalent to San Tropez, otherwise known as Hartlepool.
The inspiration for her debut novel, Marrow Jam, came from her long experience and observation of competitors at a local country show where she regularly aspires to win Best in Show with her floral arrangements. Unsuccessful to date, she has been tempted to investigate more underhand methods by which to acquire the trophy but has yet to sink to the depths described in her novel. Or so she would have you believe!
Marrow Jam was shortlisted for the Write Here, Right Now novel competition at the Bradford Literature Festival.
The second book in the ‘Beattie Bramshaw Mysteries series’, Banana Devil Cake, is available in e-book and both are published by Eye/Lightning Books.
