Tea With Jam and Dread by Tamar Myers

Magdalena Yoder has decided she needs to make her Inn a little more upscale.  Then she could charge more and offer more things.  So she's excited to book the Earl and Countess Grimsley-Snodgrass and their family as honoured guests,  Maybe she can start to pick up some international customers!

Severn House and Net Galley allowed to read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published June 1st.

Magdalena isn't the most confident person and she wants to put her best face forward.  She goes all out for them and they arrive as snobs who mistreat all the help, eat her out of house and home, and demand activities she hasn't done before.  She accommodates them the best she can, but they still complain. When they take a trip to a local mountain and one of the sons falls off the cliff and dies, she's devastated!  How could this happen?

When she starts trying to work out how he died and who was involved, it gets even more complicated.  She has a real surprise coming before the end of the story.  Nothing this couple has been telling her is true.

I enjoy Magdalena as a character.  She's trying hard to keep her business going and be a successful entrepreneur.  Now if everybody else would just stop trying to mess with her...
