“Book stores and tea rooms and castles in England. Village fetes, charming police officers, and handsome aristocrats. Tea and Cornish pasties and fairy cakes.  A town named Chumley-on-Stoke. Plus a writer struggling with writers block. What’s not to like in this absolutely delightful new series by Margaret Loudon? I can’t wait to see what Pen Parish and her friends at The Open Book get up to next.”—Vicki Delany, author of Silent Night, Deadly Night
